Delicious cake. I've made it twice.

This was a really good idea and fun, however I didn't really like the cake itself. I found the cake to be a little dry, it was still good but I think it would've been better if I had just added strawberries to a white cake mix. I really liked the idea of strawberries in the cake and in between the layers and the chocolate frosting was a good touch.

Perfect! I didn't have the problem with frosting consistency that others seem to have experienced. There are just under 8 cups of powdered sugar in two boxes so I used both boxes. With the cocoa you have 9 1/2 cups of dry ingredients to 1 cup of milk. It was perfect. My husband likes lots of frosting so on other recipes there is never enough. Will be making this again.
I made this cake with both strawberries and bananas, its delicious. I'd just use a little bit less sugar.
I've also altered this to just use a cake mix for a quick version. I tossed the strawberries in flour before putting them in the batter. Definitely cut back on the milk in the frosting so that it's not too runny.
I love this cake! I have made it several times. The recipe does make alot of frosting....so, I just dip extra berries! I use less milk initially to thicken up the frosting. After frosting the cake I thin down the remaining frosting to dip the strawberries. Only down side is strawberries sometimes seep which makes the frosting runny. I suggest you eat it asap so this doesn't happen!
Perfect! Loved this cake.
