Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine All Ingredients

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Base

    Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Topping Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Toppings

    While the base is cooling, wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Set aside.

    Assemble the Dessert

    Once the base is completely cool, cut it into squares. Top each square with a dollop of whipped cream, a few slices of fresh strawberries, and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.

    Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your Dessert of the Day!
