Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cake
A recipe for a single-layer vanilla cake with chocolate chips and fresh strawberries.
A few things to note about this recipe:
- I think this cake is VERY best served warm. You can serve it at room temp or chilled, and I tried it all the ways. Warm with melty chocolate chips trumps all!
- This cake freezes really well. You can freeze it for up to a month. Just let it thaw to room temp before serving. And of course– I’d recommend heating up your piece in the microwave before eating it 🙂
- I added a dusting of powdered sugar to the top, but I kept thinking how yummy a glaze would have been instead. So if you’re feeling bold, give that a try!
What’s my favorite thing about this recipe?
I loved the melty chocolate chips in every bite of cake! (I photographed the cake chilled, but I definitely heated it back up to eat!).
