Title: Chocolate Covered Strawberries Cake

Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until smooth and well blended, about 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of sliced strawberries over the top of the cake.
10. Pour half of the chocolate ganache over the strawberries, allowing it to drip down the sides.
11. Carefully place the second cake layer on top. Repeat the process by adding a layer of sliced strawberries and pouring the remaining ganache over the top.
12. Decorate the cake with fresh strawberries on top.
13. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the ganache to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
