Description

A delightful dessert that combines rich chocolate flavors with the sweetness of fresh strawberries, perfect for any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • 160ml heavy cream
  • 160g chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Lightly oil two 6-inch round springform cake pans, line with parchment paper, and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until creamy. Add oil, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a rack.
  5. For the ganache, place chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat the heavy cream to a boil and pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and let reach room temperature.
  6. To assemble, spread 1/4 of the ganache on the first cake layer, arrange half a cup of sliced strawberries over it, then place the second layer on top. Pour the remaining ganache over it and allow it to set. Garnish with remaining strawberries and mint if desired.

Notes

Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better blending. Do not overmix the batter for a lighter cake.
