Chocolate Covered Strawberry cake (uses box)

1 box strawberry cake mix
1 can vanilla icing
fresh strawberries (frozen would work after being thawed)
milk chocolate chips


I started with a boxed cake my mother sent me for Valentines day since I did not want it to go to waste.  I added in chopped strawberries and half a big bag of milk chocolate chips.

I baked them in 2 9" round pans.  Iced with one can of vanilla icing my mother sent with the cake mix.
I added in chopped strawberries and more chips between the layers.
Keep in the fridge as there are strawberries in it.

This was amazing and so fresh.

I burnt the top of my mouth on hot pizza and this was the only thing I could handle as it healed.

Easy Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:
1c all-purpose flour
1c sugar
1/2c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/4tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
3/4c milk (I used whole since that is what we have)
1/3c cooking oil
1tsp vanilla
1 egg

Preheat to 350. Use 8*8*2 baking pan or 9*1.5" round.  I used a 9*9*2 and the cake came out very thin.
Grease and flour pans.

Stir in flour, sugar, cocoa powder, soda, baking powder, and salt.  Add in milk, oil, and vanilla.  Combine on low until all combined.  Beat about 2 minutes on medium speed.  Add the egg and beat for another 2 minutes.  Pour into pans.

Bake 30-35 minutes.  I had to bake for 32 minutes in the 9*9*2 pan.
*done when toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
