I’ve made a lot of chocolate cakes over the years. A lot of chocolate cakes. But this strawberries and cream chocolate cake is one of my favorites.

The chocolate cake tastes like a cross between brownies and chocolate cake. It’s a little richer and a little more dense than a regular light and fluffy chocolate cake.

The chocolate cake is topped with plenty of sweetened whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The sweet/tart strawberries and the creamy whipped cream are pretty much perfect with the rich chocolate cake.
