Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
Step 3: Add the softened butter and eggs to the dry mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6: While the cake cools, prepare a chocolate shell by melting chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake before garnishing with fresh strawberries.
Notes
For optimal freshness, store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate it for up to a week. If you want to enjoy the cake warm, simply pop individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, ensuring you don't overheat and dry it out. For a delightful presentation, serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of fresh strawberries on top for added flavor and visual appeal. To elevate the chocolate shell, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla powder while melting the chocolate for an enhanced taste experience.
