For anyone who is actually planning on making this cake: I tried it and it came out stunning! I’m a complete beginner in cake baking and the result impressed my friends and family! Few things to note: - The recipe calls for wayyyyyyy too much sugar. I ended up using only 2 cups for the layers and 3 cups for the cream (instead of the suggested 6-8 cups!) I can’t even imagine how sweet it would be, what I did was more than enough and it was still very sweet. - I found there wasn’t enough buttercream to ice the cake and cover it fully unless maybe you’re a pro. I ended up needing more buttercream. Next time I’ll just use a full pack of butter and add strawberries and sugar proportionally.
Thank you for the side note and feed back, I'm planning to make this to satisfy my daughter's craving for strawberry Nutella cake (I will incorporate the Nutella into the ganache) as a birthday treat🎉
I made this today for my boyfriend's 28th birthday, his favorite cake flavors are chocolate and strawberry and it was PERFECT. He absolutely fell in love with this cake and so did I, even though I'm not super big on chocolate but omg this cake is to die for! Recipe is well explained, easy to follow and to make as well. It's a messy process hehe but so much fun!! 10/10 thank you for this recipe!! To anyone who reads, it's worth it, make it! It'll be the star of the day.
ok, i made this yesterday as my birthday cake (don't ask why i made my own birthday cake, but the reasons are not bad) - cut the recipe into 1/3 to fit 2 6" cake pans and forgot to get cream, so no ganache - decorated the top with strawberries and milk chocolate mini-chips - it was delectable. the oil-based cake is so moist and flavorful and the frosting was wonderful - all around thumbs up. thanks, john!
I just want to say that there are thousands of UA-cam videos for recipes, but for me it's the personality of the person that brings me back for more! I've tried your Lemon cake recipe and it was luscious! Thank you
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do. I recently found your channel, and your videos always cheer me up. I’ve had 5 family members including my father pass away in the last year. I also wound up homeless for a while. I finally found a home and watch your videos when I’m down. Please don’t ever stop posting.
I would love to see Preppy Kitchen’s take on a big ostentatious wedding cake. I wish more UA-cam bakers would create their versions of the celebratory cake. Feels like a great way of getting to know each baker’s philosophy while getting to see them go wild with creativity. Just a thought!
I actually made this cake recently and it tastes just like a chocolate covered strawberry 🍫🍓🧁😋. Delicious!! I used milk chocolate chips for the ganache instead of semi chocolate. Excellent recipe to try.
THANK YOU for mentioning whether the bowl should NOT touch the water. In my experience, you're the first one I heard mention how to do that properly. No more losing sleep on whether the bowl should or shouldn't touch the boiling water! ;) Can't wait to try this one!!
Really good. My grandma loves this it’s so preppy, and my family would enjoy Polish cooking, because that’s what UA-cam and Facebook are popular on topic about.
The happiness on his face when the things turns out almost perfect is so pure, he looks so cute. And why do i think that sometimes he controls himself from screaming (on camera)😂
John, I would love a video with your top 5 (or 10!) cake recipes! You’ve encouraged me to strap on my baking apron more, I’ve just taken your yellow cake out of the oven for my Mothers Day gift to myself. I’ve got the chocolate buttercream ready to go too. Wishing your mom a wonderful Mother’s Day!
I’ve tried this cake recipe n it did taste really really aaaamazing! So tender & moist, perfect flavour combo, was so pleasant to assemble the cake. I am definitely going to bake this again!
I’m planning to make a chocolate strawberry cake for my mother in law’s birthday next weekend and had searched to see if you had a recipe, soo glad you posted this when you did!
chocolate and strawberries are like the PERFECT match made in heaven!! i had chocolate and strawberry ice cream together for the first time the other day… CHANGED MY LIFE!! haha, i’m such a foodie…
WOW...just watched your video and, #1..I am getting your book, #2...I love love this recipe and it is the one I will make for my birthday. I love the thin layers of the frosting, and I love strawberries!!! Thank you John!!!...Adel
I'm on the 3rd day of fasting. Instead of 'window shopping', I'm 'window eating' by watching this video😂. Not sure it helps or not because your cake looks very delicious😋🍰
My grandma works in the cake store and I helped her make a chocolate covered strawberry cheesecake it was so good I’m giving her ideas so that’s why I’m watching this
I made this cake last night and put it together today. It it was so good. I subbed coconut oil, and used less sugar, probably half. I also used cream cheese In the frosting and used much less sugar, it didn't set like frosting would but I'm leaving it in the fridge anyways. I totally forgot about the genache, and topping the cake with strawberries. Thank you for the video, it was a pretty easy cake!
Hey John, this will be a must try cake for me and it looks devine and delicious. I love the idea of the choc and strawberries together and your frosting looks awesome with the strawberries in it. Loved the video of you, Brian and the children in Paris and would love to see more tropical cakes and pies recipes and thank you for asking for our likes on baked goods. Love and blessings to you and the family.
Happy Mother's Day to you and Brian. You guys are the best Dad Mom's a child could ask for!!! I hope you guys have the best day tomorrow with the boys.. Love you guys💐🤗🙏
When I next visit the states from the UK I’d better leave some room in my suitcase for your book. I’ve learned so much from you John, thanks for sharing your fabulous skills & recipes with us all. ❤️
Hi John, I love watching your tutorials because your such a good teacher and so enjoyable to watch…..thank you for another ah-maz-ing recipe……love your channel, your incredible home and amazing family ……love from UK xxxxx🇬🇧xxxxx
Absolutely gorgeous can't wait to make it this weekend. I bought a flat of fresh strawberries in Northern California that will be perfect for this cake. Thanks for sharing.
I made a 6in and 9in 2 tier version of this last week for my daughter's birthday and it came out great (although I had a bunch of frosting left over). I actually added in some cream cheese because the sweetness was a bit much and it balanced it out for me. Tomorrow I am attempting a 6-9-12 3-tier version for her party. Wish me luck!
Oh my goodness, I’m so relieved to see another person line up the only the perfect Strawberries... l do the same thing with my Raspberries and Blackberries! Your Strawberry & Chocolate Cake looks delicious and absolutely stunning!
I love this channel. Thank you for generously sharing your baking skills and ideas. I am a beginner and i learned a lot .i have tried several recipes already and made everyone happy and delighted. ❤️
excellent tip for those that make cakes occasionally like me and don't want to buy a turn table use the wheels from your microwave and a cake board now I know to test my drips before I decorate cake always learning from you John ❤ knew you were a Virgo
I love this guy, John, and his recipes. He is not only amazing, but he reminds me of my cousin that lives in Peru. I lost contact with him. Every time I look at John, I am looking at my cousin. Thanks for the recipe. I loved it!
Making this for my daughter’s nameday (she is 6 and she picked it off of your channel). I baked maybe 6-7 things from you so far and they were all impeccable. I’m not even considering recipes from other bakers anymore!
What did you change to make it dairy free? I have a milk allergy, and my family is lactose intolerant, but I would love to make it. I do use plant butter to make my frosting instead of real butter.
@@novelist99 yes so I did use plant butter for the frosting. I omitted the chocolate ganache because I couldn’t wait to eat it… but in place of the buttermilk I used 1cup almond milk (or any non dairy milk sub) with 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar. You will add the cream of tartar to the dry ingredients though to avoid clumping.
I found my daughter's next birthday cake! She will be 19 on June 19th. I wanted something spectacular for her golden birthday. I always bake fancy cakes from scratch for family birthdays. I was thinking about a chocolate layer cake with strawberry frosting and then I saw this video. Normally I will have an idea for a cake and I will end up combining ideas from 2 or 3 youtubers to make my vision come to life. When I saw this video I was soooo excited!!! It's absolutely amazingly perfect! I'm so excited for your book to come out. My husband already pre ordered it for me. My daughter and I are big fans. We always watch your videos together. I'm also a grocery store cake decorator so I get to practice at work. It just looks a little different at work because nothing is made there. The cakes are baked at another facility and brought in fresh. We keep them frozen until we are ready to use them. Our buttercream frosting comes in giant 5 gallon buckets and there is no butter or cream in the ingredients. Our whipped frosting also comes in a slightly smaller bucket and kept frozen until we open them. We also have time limits for getting stuff done and certain grocery store guidelines for how to do things. The only time I have artistic license is with the special cake orders. When I do the cake orders I love to go above and beyond and exceed their expectations. I love making people happy! I mostly love to bake cakes for family at home so I can make everything from scratch and take my time on it to make sure it's perfect. I usually bake the cake the day before the party so I have all day to work on it.
The min I saw this video I knew I had to make it for Mother’s Day for myself 😂. I got excited because I have all the ingredients to make. Thank you for sharing, your recipes are the best. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤤🤤

What was the heavey cream for it he used butter for the frosting?

I think this strawberry butter cream frosting would be divine on a lemon cake. Beautifully done!

You are the reason why life is so complicated 😂. Like if he wants to make a wedding cake. He would of by now child😅

The way you happily show all the recipes, is out of this world... Your smile steals the show... Extremely in love with all your recipes..
I actually made this cake recently and it tastes just like a chocolate covered strawberry 🍫🍓🧁😋. Delicious!! I used milk chocolate chips for the ganache instead of semi chocolate. Excellent recipe to try.
Oh awesome. I am trying it tonight and planned on using milk choc as well.
can I add just 600gm of sugar while icing? I don't want a looot of sugar. but I don't mind if putting more if it would be better that way.
How to make chocolate cake with chocolate
