Chocolate Strawberry Torte Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling

Yield: 10-12 Servings

20 30 50

Ingredients

5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup butter, cubed
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups water
STRAWBERRY FILLING:
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
GLAZE:
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

In a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Cool. Transfer to a large bowl; beating sugar until blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture alternately with water beating well after each addition.
Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 28-33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
In a large bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside. For glaze, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in confectioners' sugar, water and vanilla until smooth. Cool slightly.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with half of the whipped topping; drizzle with half of the glaze. Top with half of the filling. Repeat layers. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 10-12 servings.

A very simple cake recipe. The Filling and Frosting are also simple (on their own), but quite dynamic when all are combined into the "Chocolate Strawberry Torte". When having company during 'The Strawberry Season', this is the 'Wower' you wish to serve! Check out the 'comments' for insight, when thinking about what to serve!

This is a delicious recipe. Although I have made it a couple times, my husband is the one who usually makes it. We look forward to fresh strawberries every summer to use on this dessert.
