How to make it:

To prepare this delicious chocolate and strawberry cake you start with the chocolate base: melt the dark chocolate over simmering water or in the microwave and add butter making sure it melts completely. When the chocolate has cooled down, beat the yolks with half of the sugar (90 g) and when they are light and fluffy, add the chocolate and continue to mix.

Sieve the flour, corn flour and the baking powder and add to the mixture a spoonful at a time. Make sure the flours are combined perfectly to avoid lumps. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, add the remaining sugar and then pour into the mixture.

Butter and dust with flour a 24 cm diameter tin, pour the mixture in and even it out. Bake the cake in a static oven at 180° for 50 minutes (160° for 40 minutes in a ventilated oven). Once the cake is ready, take the cake out of the oven and then remove from the baking tin and allow to cool completely.

While the cake is cooling down, prepare the filling: wash and dry the strawberries then cut them into slices, leaving 6 whole strawberries to garnish the cake. In a bowl whip the fresh cream and icing sugar.

Cut the cake in half horizontally and fill with cream (you can use a piping bag). Add the strawberry slices and place the other half of the cake on top.
Garnish the top of the cake with the remaining cream and decorate with the whole strawberries set aside previously.

Your cake is ready!

You can use raspberries, blackberries or other fruit instead of strawberries, it will still be delicious and appreciated by children and adults alike.
