How To Make Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Strawberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup cake flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 oz unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh, chopped
For Chocolate Strawberry Sauce:
- 2 cups strawberries, fresh, sliced
- ½ cup water
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
To Serve:
- strawberries
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-inch cake pan.
-
Sift together the baking powder, cocoa, both flours, and salt then set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
-
Add together the vanilla, eggs, milk, and yogurt and continue creaming.
-
Fold in the flour mixture into the wet mixture, followed by the strawberries, and fold until evenly incorporated. Pour the mixture into the cake pan.
-
Pour the mixture into the cake pan, then bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
-
While the cake is baking, start making the chocolate strawberry sauce by mixing the strawberries, water, and sugar then bringing it to a boil.
-
Reduce the heat then cover the mixture and simmer it for 10 minutes.
-
Add the chocolate, butter, and vanilla to the mixture then stir it until it becomes smooth and melted. Set aside briefly. Avoid cooling down completely as it will be very hard to drizzle.
-
Once the cake is done baking, transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool down.
-
Before serving, pour the chocolate strawberry sauce and spread to coat the entire cake. Slice into your desired portions and garnish with 1 whole strawberry per cake slice, and serve.
