This is probably one of the simplest yet most delicious desserts and it looks great - good enough to serve to company!
- 1 boxed dark chocolate cake
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
- 16 fresh strawberries sliced and tossed with 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves
- chocolate syrup for garnish
Prepare the cake as directed in a sheet pan. Once cool, cut into 1-2 inch squares. Starting at the bottom of a trifle dish or individual dessert cups (clear glass) layer the chocolate cake in a single layer.
In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like.
Add a layer of cream to the chocolate cake, then a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat until all ingredients have been used. Finish with a dollop of whipped cream, a sliced strawberry and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
It's that simple!
