Simply Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Berries

As the name indicates, our Simply Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Berries is easy enough even a novice in the kitchen can prepare it! Heather taught our youngest niece, Esperanza, 10, to prepare this tasty treat on a recent trip to down South.

Kids love to be included in family activities and taught how to do new things. Not only are they usually quick learners, but they oftentimes surprise us with their natural talent. On a recent trip down South to visit family, we taught our youngest niece, Esperanza, 10, how to make this yummy cake. She did a spectacular job, and we were so proud of her effort. In fact, she liked it so much that she promised to make it for us again when we come for another visit!

PREP: 20 minutes
COOK: 35 to 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Simply Chocolate Cakes, baked in 2 8-inch round cake pans
  • 2 pints heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, washed, trimmed and thinly sliced

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bake cakes and cool completely.
