Cake and Toppings

Method

Baking and Assembling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

  2. 2

    Bake the Cakes

    Divide the batter evenly among the four prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  3. 3

    Make the Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Cake

    Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of caramel sauce over the top, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat with the remaining layers, ending with whipped cream on top. Garnish with fresh strawberries.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice and serve the cake chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious four-layer chocolate cake!
