Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the bowl. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and pureed strawberries, mixing until creamy.
  8. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread with strawberry jam and layer with sliced strawberries.
  9. Top with a second cake layer and repeat the jam and strawberries. Place the third layer on top.
  10. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the strawberry cream cheese frosting. Decorate with additional fresh strawberries if desired.
  11. Slice and serve!
