Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped)
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir well until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Carefully pour in the boiling water and gently mix until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin, which is normal.
Fold in the chopped strawberries gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar or garnish with additional fresh strawberries before serving.
Slice and enjoy your One Bowl Chocolate Strawberry Cake!
