Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks Butter
  • 4 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Boiling Water boiling
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 2 pints Strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Line two round baking pans with parchment and spray the parchment with baking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan.
  • Mix in the cocoa and stir it until smooth.
  • Pour in boiling water, let the mixture bubble up around 20 seconds; turn it off and set it aside.
  • In a measuring pitcher or bowl, mix together the buttermilk, baking soda, eggs and vanilla. Set this aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the sugar, flour and salt.
  • Stir in the hot chocolate mixture, stirring gently until it’s halfway combined and less hot. Pour in the buttermilk mixture and continue stirring gently until the batter is all combined.
  • Pour the batter into the pans and bake them for approximately 17 minutes until they’re just set. Remove from the pans and set them aside to cool completely.
  • Prepare the strawberries: stir them with the sugar and the vanilla. Let them macerate for 15 minutes, and drain off the excess juice.
  • Whip the cream with the powdered sugar.
  • To assemble: turn one layer upside down on a serving platter.
  • Spread half the Nutella all over the surface.
  • Spread on half the whipped cream and top with half the strawberries
  • Place the other layer upside down on top and repeat with the rest of the Nutella, whipped cream, and strawberries.
  • Keep chilled until serving and cut with a serrated knife!
