Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup softened butter (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened, for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three round cake pans or line with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, blend eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients without overmixing.
- Divide the batter into three portions: mix melted chocolate into one portion, pureed strawberries into another, and leave the third as vanilla.
- Pour each flavored batter into its respective prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- Frost between layers with cream cheese frosting; cover the entire cake once assembled.
Notes
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
- You can use fresh strawberries or strawberry puree for the layer.
- Ensure the cakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
