Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 190 g all-purpose flour
  • 75 g natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 115 g unsalted butter (melted)
  • 100 g light-tasting oil
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 330 g milk (room temperature)
  • 250 g cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 70 g strawberry jam (from above)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200 g strawberries (finely diced)
  • 7 strawberries (halved for decoration)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook until the strawberries break down and create a jam-like consistency. Set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your 9-inch round baking pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter, light-tasting oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Then stir in the milk until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cooling in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  7. In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing. Finally, stir in the strawberry jam and vanilla extract.
  8. Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally if desired. Spread strawberry filling between layers or on top of one layer before topping with frosting. Decorate with finely diced strawberries and halved strawberries.
