- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 and 1/2 cups whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into two layers.
-
Place the bottom layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the cake, then top with sliced strawberries. Place the second layer of cake on top.
-
Frost the entire cake with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings and additional strawberries, if desired.
-
Slice and serve the chocolate strawberry shortcake.
