Best Recipe for 4-Layer Chocolate Strawberry Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 (15.25 ounce) packages devil's food cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
  • 2 cups water
  • 6 eggs
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 (16 ounce) cans prepared chocolate frosting
  • 1 (8 ounce) container whipped cream topping, or more to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) package ripe strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of four 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. Combine devil's food cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until batter is smooth, about 3 minutes.
  3. Spread cake batter evenly in the prepared cake pans.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 24 to 29 minutes. Cool in the pans, about 30 minutes. Invert cakes onto a flat work surface and peel off parchment paper.
  5. Spread some chocolate frosting over each cake. Spread whipped cream over the chocolate frosting. Press strawberries into the whipped cream; cover with more whipped cream. Stack cake layer carefully.
