Description
A delightful dessert combining moist chocolate cake with sweet and tangy strawberry filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or 1 1/2 cups whole milk + juice of 2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla essence
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 100 g butter for filling
- 2 cans condensed milk
- 150 g powdered milk
- 200 g chopped strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare the cake mold with butter and flour.
- Mix the whole milk with lemon juice and let it sit for 15 minutes to create buttermilk.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients while mixing gently. Then fold in the sugar until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared mold and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the mold for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the filling, melt the butter in a pot, then add the condensed milk and powdered milk. Stir until smooth, then mix in the chopped strawberries.
- Once the cake is cool, cut it into two or three layers. Fill with the strawberry and condensed milk mixture, then cover with melted chocolate and decorate as desired.
