Strawberry Chocolate Layer Cake

Here is a splendid chocolate cake method that has been handed down over generations. This is a tasty old fashion chocolate cake. The method is straightforward and the results are amazing. Take an hour or so to test it and find out.

For two layers of cake prepare:

12 OUNCES EQUALS HOW MANY CUPS

1. 3.5 ounces of premium milk chocolate for cooking
2. Three large grade A eggs. I prefer organic eggs if available.
3. Two cups of flour
4. 2 cups of sugar
5. Half a cup of butter
6. Half a cup of whole milk. 1% is ok too.
7. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
8. 1.5 teaspoon of baking powder
9. 3 cups of thinly sliced strawberries
10. Icing is not required but you can experiment with discrete flavors.

Now take the following steps:

1. Grate the cooking chocolate evenly
2. Mix the butter to a cream like consistency, and gently pour in the sugar.
3. Mix in the milk and vanilla,
4. Beat and the consist of the grade A eggs
5. Next mix in next the chocolate
6. Join the flour and baking powder before mixing into the main bowl
7. Then stir the flour baking powder mixture into the main bowl.
8. gently pour the contents into two shallow cake pans that have been well oiled. I use butter but it is not that healthy.
9. Bake for approximately 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Check it at 20 minutes to make sure everything is ok.
10. Let the layers cool for at least one hour
11. Place a thin but consistent layer of sliced strawberries over one of the cake layers. Be specific not to make the slices too large. You do not want strawberries falling out!
12. Carefully place the other chocolate cake on top of the layer of strawberries
13. Add icing and or strawberry slices on top as desired. I prefer it plain but I have tried many variations with great results. Do not hesitate to experiment.
14. Eat It!!

I hope you enjoy this chocolate strawberry cake. Have a great day!
