Chocolate x Strawberry Cake

Vanesa was my roomate and is my heart sister! She is obsessed with strawberries dipped in chocolate so last year for her birthday, September 2nd, I baked her this cake. This was just the beginning of a sweet birthday, as after we traveled to Disneyland to celebrate it!

You'll need...

Cake

• 2 cups of flour
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 cup of cocoa powder
• 1 cup of milk
• 2 tablespoons of margarine
• 1 tablespoon of baking soda
• 2 round cake pans (8-inch) 

Filling

• 1 can of condensed milk
• 1 case of strawberries, sliced
• 1 tablespoon of margarine
• 1 egg yolk

Topping

• 2 packages of table cream
• 5.6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate
• 5.6 oz of white chocolate
• 1 case of strawberries

How To..

Cake
Mix the eggs with the sugar and margarine. Then add the flour, cocoa powder, milk and baking soda. Spread the cake pans and apportion the dough between the two pans. Put in the oven in medium heat for 40 minutes or until is baked.

Filling
Bring the all ingredients but the strawberries to a sauce pan to the stove at low heat. When the mixture gets thicker and starts to come off the bottom of the pan, turn it off and let it cool. Slice the strawberries.

Topping
Melt the chocolate separately. Get the amount of strawberries you wanna garnish you're cake with and dipped in the melted chocolate (note: the strawberry needs to be dry!) and reserve. Mix one package of table cream to each kind of chocolate melted.

Building the cake
When the cake is baked, place one of them in the plate that you wanna serve it, to be the bottom. Make the top flat, or the filling won't stay. Spread the creamy filling and put the sliced straberries over it. Place the other cake on top and cover the surface with the semi-sweet chocolate topping. Garnish with the white chocolate topping and the strawberries.
