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.
