- 1 cup sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup boiling water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually add milk and stir until smooth.
- Slowly add boiling water, mixing until the batter is thin.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes. Test with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- While the cake cools, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is cooled, spread the whipped cream over the top and decorate with fresh strawberry slices.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can drizzle some melted chocolate over the cake before serving.
- Make sure the cake cools completely before applying the whipped cream to prevent it from melting.
