How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making this delicious cake!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
7. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chantilly. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
8. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of chantilly on top, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries.
9. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining chantilly.
10. Garnish with additional strawberries if desired, and enjoy!
