Description

Ingredients

• 3 eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 and ½ cup plain yogurt
• 2 and ¼ cups all purpose flour
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract
• 160ml heavy cream
• 160g chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 1 and ½ cups fresh strawberries
• Fresh mint leaves

Directions

• Lightly oil two 6 round spring form cake pans, line their bottoms with parchment paper and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
• Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy.
• Add in oil and yogurt. Mix well.
• Gradually sift the flour directly into the mixing bowl and mix just until combined.
• Add in cocoa powder, baking powder and vanilla powder. Stir well. Don’t overmix the batter, just until everything combines.
• Share the batter into two pans and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove them from oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove them from pans carefully. Allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack.
• Meanwhile prepare the chocolate ganache.(See the video above).
• Put chocolate chips in a bowl.
• Heat the heavy cream just until it boils and pour it over the chocolate chips. Wait for 2 minutes and stir until smooth.
• Let it reach to room temperature.
• Spread ¼ of your chocolate ganache on the first cake. Wait for about 10 minutes so that the ganache sets a bit.
• Slice ½ cup of strawberries lengthwise and place them on the chocolate ganache you spread on the first cake.
• Carefully place the second cake on the strawberries, gently press on it just to help it set.
• Pour the rest of the ganache over it. Wait about 10 minutes and then place the rest of the strawberries as they are on the top.
• Place a sprig of fresh mint on the very top.
