Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup warm water not hot
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
- Whisk the flour mixture into the sugar mixture along with the buttermilk and warm water.
- Pour the batter to the prepared pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, about 40 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then loosen cake and flip out onto the rack to cool completely.
- To put it all together, beat heavy cream to soft peak stage.
- Add sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating to form stiff peaks.
- Slice cake in half horizontally.
- Top bottom half of cake with 1/3 whipped cream.
- Lay a single layer of strawberries over whipped cream.
- Replace top layer of cake, and top with remaining whipped cream and strawberries.
- Cover, and chill any leftovers.
Notes
- Dutch-processed cocoa powder: I haven't tried using unsweetened cocoa powder in this recipe.
- Kosher salt: If you would like to use table salt, you'll only need 1/4 teaspoon.
- Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe.
- Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a homemade buttermilk substitute with this recipe.
