Let it cool completely before using. ♦ Strawberry Filling 80–100 g (½–¾ cup) chopped strawberries 2 tsp (8 g) sugar ♡ Cook on low heat until slightly soft and jammy but still chunky. ♡ Let it cool completely before layering. ♦ Chocolate Ganache Frosting 200 g (about 1 cup chopped) dark chocolate 160 g (¾ cup) fresh cream Optional: 1 tbsp (8–10 g) cocoa powder (for stronger chocolate flavor) ♡ Mix both until smooth and glossy. ♡ Beat for 2 minutes. ♦ Assembly ♡ Slice the cake into layers. ♡ Brush with soaking syrup. ♡ Spread strawberry filling. ♡ Frost with chocolate ganache. ♡ Chill for 20–30 minutes before slicing for clean cuts. ♦ Notes ♡ Bake between 165–170°C for 28–30 minutes, or until done. ♡ Allow the sponge to cool completely, then wrap and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to make slicing easier and cleaner. ♡ After frosting, chill the cake again for 30–60 minutes so the ganache sets beautifully. ♡ Remove the cake from the refrigerator 20–30 minutes before serving for the best taste and texture. #chocolatestrawberrycake #chocolatecake #egglesscake
