Cake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Allow cakes to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before turning out to cool completely.
Strawberry Filling Preparation
- Wash and mash fresh strawberries in a bowl, adding granulated sugar to taste.
Assembly
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spreading strawberry filling on top, then add the second layer.
- Optionally, frost the cake with chocolate icing for added indulgence.

Notes
For best results, sift dry ingredients and allow cakes to cool completely before adding the strawberry filling. Experiment with different fruit fillings for variety.
