• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.

8. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In the meantime, prepare the whipped cream by beating the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
10. Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half horizontally.
11. Hull and slice the strawberries.
12. Place the bottom half of the cake on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream on top.
13. Arrange half of the sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream.
