Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped or mashed
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 8 ounces (225 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Optional garnishes: freeze-dried strawberry powder or crushed freeze-dried strawberries, white chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan with butter and lightly dust with flour. Line bottom with parchment paper if desired.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Stir in vanilla extract. Mix until smooth but do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While cake cools, finely chop or mash strawberries. Stir in powdered sugar and lemon juice. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  8. Cut cooled cake into 1-inch cubes.
  9. Spread about ½ teaspoon strawberry filling on half of the cake cubes, then top with remaining cubes to form mini sandwiches.
  10. Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  11. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each cake sandwich into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper or cooling rack.
  12. Refrigerate dipped bites for at least 30 minutes until chocolate hardens.
  13. Optional: Dust with freeze-dried strawberry powder or drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving.

Notes

Ensure cake is completely cooled before cutting and dipping to prevent chocolate from melting prematurely. Melt chocolate gently and stir frequently to avoid burning. Chill dipped bites fully for a satisfying snap. Use a fork to dip for easier handling and cleaner hands. Variations include gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions.
