Recipe Summary Big D's Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake
Made this recipe for the family one night. Everybody loved it. It's really good. I think the coffee really brings out the taste of the chocolate.Ingredients | Angel Cake Strawberry Shortcake Doll½ pound fresh strawberries, hulled and halved2 tablespoons white sugar2 ½ cups all-purpose flour½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon baking powder½ teaspoon salt2 cups white sugar1 cup butter, softened⅓ cup vegetable oil2 eggs½ teaspoon vanilla extract1 ½ cups milk¾ cup brewed coffee1 quart heavy whipping cream¼ cup confectioners' sugar2 tablespoons white sugarDirectionsToss strawberry halves and 2 tablespoons white sugar in a bowl and refrigerate while preparing remaining ingredients.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat 2 cups white sugar, butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until creamy. Mix flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined. Stir in milk and coffee until batter is well blended; pour batter into prepared baking pans.Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.Beat heavy whipping cream until foamy in a large bowl. Gradually add 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream should form a sharp peak that holds its shape.Spread half the whipped cream over one completely cooled cake. Layer half the strawberries on top and place the second cake on top. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the entire cake and decorate with the remaining strawberries.Cake should be kept in fridge to keep whipped cream from melting.Info | Angel Cake Strawberry Shortcake Dollprep: 30 mins cook: 30 mins additional: 1 hr total: 2 hrs Servings: 12 Yield: 1 9-inch round cake
