Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, depending on sweetness of strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease a round cake pan (23 cm diameter).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir together until well combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the strawberries by mixing them with sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for 15 minutes.
  8. For the whipped cream topping, whip the cold cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  9. Once the cake is cooled, evenly distribute the strawberries over the top and decorate with the whipped cream.
