Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups strawberries (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them and lining them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Gradually stir in the boiling water, mixing until the batter is smooth (it will be thin, which is normal).
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Heat over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Once the cakes are cool, use a long serrated knife to slice each cake into 3 thin layers, making a total of 9 layers.
To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a thin layer of chocolate ganache and top with a few sliced strawberries.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining cake layers, ganache, and strawberries, ending with a cake layer on top.
Spread the remaining ganache evenly over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing it with an offset spatula.
For garnish, top the cake with additional strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to set the ganache.
Slice and serve to enjoy your Sinfully Good Million Layers Chocolate Layer Cake with Strawberries!
