Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup neutral oil (like sunflower or canola)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder (for frosting)
  • 4 tbsp milk (for frosting, adjust for creaminess)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 10–12 fresh strawberries (for decoration)
  • 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, brown sugar, milk, oil and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients.
  4. Slowly stir in the hot water (batter will be thin). Pour evenly into the pans.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  6. For the frosting, beat butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, cocoa, milk and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  7. Frost one layer of the cake, top with the second, and frost the entire cake.
  8. Press chocolate biscuits around the sides. Top with strawberries and sprinkle chopped chocolate.

Notes

  • Chill slightly before serving for clean slices.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Pairs perfectly with a fresh mint tea or iced latte.
  • Use ripe, sweet strawberries for best contrast.
  • Pipe frosting decoratively for an extra elegant finish.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
