Chocolate and Strawberry Cake?

I know I posted a question like this a few hours ago, but I got one answer.

Sooo........

Anyone know any good recipes for a birthday cake that has chocolate (not really extreme chocolate) and strawberries involved (vanilla's ok too, but everyone loves chocolate!)?

It can't be too hard because I'm not a master baker- but I'm not terrible either.

I also saw a picture of a cake that looked like a chocolate covered strawberry and it was really cool but I couldn't find the recipe.



Thanks!
Chocolate and Strawberry Cake?
You COULD just get a chocolate AND a strawberry cake mix.....If you beat the batter AT LEAST 3 min. on a stand mixer (closer to 5 min is even better), then it will be moist %26amp; fluffy .... You could pour them both into a LARGE lasagna pan, and marble through them for a strawberry/chocolate marble cake.........OR...you could make a chocolate layer cake and frost with 2 c. heavy whipping cream, beaten to very stiff peaks with 1 small package of strawberry jello mix, for the frosting. You could put sliced strawberries with the frosting between the layers, and fan some out on top too.....
Reply:My mom made this amazing cake for my sister's birthday a few days ago. It was chocolate shortcake with vanilla whipped cream icing and strawberries. I can't find her recipe, but try searching chocolate strawberry shortcake.
Reply:Just buy a chocolate or yellow cake mix, use chocolate frosting. Buy fresh strawberries, rinse well, slice as thick as a nickel, place in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar, stir and let it sit in the fridge. This should be done either early in the morning or the night before you bake cake.



Once cake is cooled and you have applied the frosting, you can either pour on cake or arrange side by side as a design on top covering the top layer. It looks real nice and it tastes even better. If the cake is for adults you can add Chambord (raspberry liqueur) to the strawberries and sugar.
Reply:The guy above me is right. I am going to be making a chocolate strawberry cake too for my girlfriends birthday. I am going to get chocolate cake mix, (Pillsbury or store brand, $1) chocolate icing ($1.50) Strawberries, and whipped cream. I am going to actually cut up some strawberry's and put them in the cake batter so there is strawberries in the middle of the cake. I will also cut some more strawberries up in little pieces, adding sugar on top, and letting that sit for 30 mins. When the cake is done, I am going to make a circle around it with whipped cream, place whole strawberrys around the rim, and leave the strawberries with the sugar on the side for topping. You can try doing that too lol. Good luck and happy birthday to your friend!
