Very delicious combo of chocolate and strawberry. I think the next time I make it I'll leave out the fresh strawberries from between the layers. If you have leftovers, the top layer will start to slide off the fruit.

I actually made this for someone and asked THEM to rate it ! They said the only reason they gave it a 4 was because there's nothing that's perfect - LOL ! I didn't try it, but I AM going to make it again and it was a SPECTACULAR sight to see ! I felt so elegant looking at the end result ! LOL !

I made this for Mother's Day and it was big hit! Chocolate and fresh strawberry make a wonderful combination. I suggest having extra strawberries to spoon over each slice, and also, if you're like me and don't like cake mix, make your own cake from scratch. I used a Wellesley Fudge cake recipe and it was great!

I made this cake for a birthday party. It was very good,and got lots of compliments. The great thing about this cake is that it is very easy, and you can prepare it with many variations by changing the cake flavor, jam, fruit and filling to suit you or your guests favorites.
