I made this cake yesterday to convey to a celebration being thrown by one in all my daughter’s classmates in celebration of their “commencement” from elementary faculty to junior excessive. (Sigh, the place did these seven years go?)

It was nice enjoyable watching a bunch of 12 12 months olds dig into the chocolate dipped strawberries which have been devoured earlier than the cake was even minimize.

50% cocoa chips. 

I like to make use of darkish chocolate chips in my ganache dip for the strawberries however you need to use any form you want. I’ve used my normal chocolate scratch cake right here and added a straightforward recipe for the ‘frosting challenged’.

Contemporary ripe excellent strawberries.

 This frosting is kind of simple to make, beginning with a base of silky melted chocolate.

If you’re off to a begin like that, how dangerous can the end be? 😉

Everybody loves chocolate dipped strawberries!

I prefer to dip my strawberries in chocolate ganache which has similarities to creating chocolate truffles. I do that as a substitute of plain melted chocolate as a result of the cream within the ganache softens the chocolate.

That makes the chocolate soften in your mouth quicker and meld with the flavour of the juicy ripe strawberries even higher.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

I additionally discover this makes them much less messy to eat as a result of the chocolate doesn’t shatter whenever you chew into the strawberry and fall into your lap! That’s particularly essential when serving them at a get-together.
