Strawberry Chocolate Layer Cake with Whipped Cream is a light yet indulgent dessert featuring moist chocolate cake layers, fresh strawberries, and airy whipped cream. Perfect for spring and summer occasions.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup whole milk or buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water or brewed coffee
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Optional: chocolate shavings or curls for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  4. Slowly stir in boiling water or coffee until the batter is smooth and thin.
  5. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool cakes completely on a wire rack.
  7. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  8. Slice one cake layer horizontally to create four layers in total.
  9. Layer whipped cream and sliced strawberries between each layer of cake.
  10. Top with more whipped cream, strawberries, and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
  11. Chill before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold cream and utensils for best whipped cream stability.
  • Brush cake layers with simple syrup for added moisture.
  • Best served within 24 hours for optimal whipped cream texture.
  • Use a serrated knife or cake leveler to slice layers evenly.
