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.
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 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.
Really good. My grandma loves this it’s so preppy, and my family would enjoy Polish cooking, because that’s what TH-cam and Facebook are popular on topic about.
I just want to say that there are thousands of TH-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 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!!
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…
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!
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 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!
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!
I would love to see Preppy Kitchen’s take on a big ostentatious wedding cake. I wish more TH-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!
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)😂
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💐🤗🙏
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 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. ❤️
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 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!
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
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
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.
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!
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. ❤️
I think you are awesome I've been watching so many when I accidentally found you ,you are terrific and so easy to follow, and you show how to do each step, thank you iam so glad to have found you I have subscribed
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.
I'm not good at decorating, but the cake looks amazing even when I made it. Tastes professional, I don't believe I made it. And so easy to throw together
I love ur style, you explain every little detail so clearly. That any beginner can follow you. I already tried ur orange cake and chocolate cake .it came out very delicious.I want to eat that cake too
Dear lovely John! I have made this cake several times now.. I confess I do not like chocolate cake... BUT THIS ONE HAS ME OVER THE HILLS!! I do not make the frosting every time I make the cake (even though I made it once, and it was TO DIE FOR!) I do have a question... Why does it sink in the middle? 🥲 I am following your instructions to the T!

Amazing most cakeful berry Strawberry & chocolate cake with kitchen
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.
Thank you Preppy Kitchen. I'm making this and your other strawberry cake this weekend. Happy Baking...
The chocolate strawberry cake looks like the most delicious cake ever. Yum!
Chocolate and Strawberry cake, best of both worlds
I think this strawberry butter cream frosting would be divine on a lemon cake. Beautifully done!

Just another one i enjoyed your tutorial of this recipe is amazing cake recipe i must try another one of my favorite.
This is the MOST AMAZING Chocolate Strawberry Cake Recipe Ever, indeed! And you are the most AMAZING!!!
Thank you!!!!
I added crushed strawberries which I cooked a little to get rid of water then added it instead of fresh cut pieces . Turned very flavourful
There’s nothing I love more than chocolate and strawberries I can’t wait to try this!!
Another thing to do with extra strawberries is to make a jam to go in between the cake layers! Absolutely delicious!
ooo i love this i want to try it for my daughter she loves Strawberrys, thank you for your amazeing work.
I'm going to make this today for my hubby but I'm using a heart shaped pan. Thanks so much for the inspiration ❤❤

Dear lovely John!
I have made this cake several times now.. I confess I do not like chocolate cake... BUT THIS ONE HAS ME OVER THE HILLS!!
I do not make the frosting every time I make the cake (even though I made it once, and it was TO DIE FOR!)
I do have a question... Why does it sink in the middle? 🥲
I am following your instructions to the T!
Ohh!! And I don't move it inside the oven 😅
You will NOT be disappointed! You can sell it with your eyes closed! I made it for home ant it was BEYOND "AHHH-MAZING"!!
