Happy day lovely people!
Today, I ventured out. Today I tried my very best to make something very unique yet very delicious and something you can make for your family and friends. The goal was to make something chocolate and fruity. I think I succeeded; this is the best chocolate strawberry cake recipe you will find on the internet.
I will walk through exactly what I did step by step. This cake uses a chocolate cake mix base, but no one will ever know. I got many compliments on the cake when I dropped it off at a nearby business.
Here is what you will need:
Chocolate cake mix
Chocolate instant pudding
Milk
Vegetable oil
Eggs
Sour cream
Hershey Syrup
And, of course, fresh chopped strawberries
The Best Chocolate Strawberry Cake Recipe
Before you start, set your oven to 350 and grease 2, 8-9 inch pans.
Cut your fresh strawberries and toss them with sugar. Set aside
In a large bowl, pour in your chocolate cake mix. Make a hole in the center and pour in your milk (extra flour if you’re cooking at a high altitude like me). Extra vanilla extract for that homemade taste, 3 eggs. Mix together. Then add your chocolate pudding, and mix for about 15-20 seconds.
Next, you will want to add ¼ cup of sour cream and mix for about 10 seconds. Then fold in your strawberries. Pour your cake batter into your cake pans. Now, before you add the cake to the oven, go ahead and squeeze some Hershey syrup on top.
Put your cakes in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or bake until done.
While your cakes are baking in the oven, make your chocolate icing. I made my simple chocolate icing. In a medium bowl, mix ½ dark chocolate canned icing with cream cheese. Before you start mixing the icing, you want to make sure your cream cheese is softened.
Set Aside, remove the cakes from the oven, let them cool, and then ice your cakes. This icing will be enough for a 2-layer cake.
