Chocolate Layer/ Strawberry Cake




Ingredients
1 cup of margarine= 2 serving spoons
2 cups of white sugar
6 eggs
1 cup of cocoa
1 tbs of vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 of water ( warm water)
1/3 teaspoon of salt ( if margarine is salt free)
2 tbs of baking soda

Filling and Topping
2 tbs of margarine
1 cup of sugar
3 tbs of cocoa
1/3 tea cup milk
1 can of condensed milk
1 can of cream
3 packs of strawberries ( for inside and outer decoration)

Mix ingredients:
In a bowl ( note: I have found that the consistency of this cake is perfected when hand beaten)

Add in order: Margarine, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, one by one add an egg and mix, slowly add flour while mixing, salt, warm water, and last baking soda.

Filling
In a a medium bowl add, Margarine, sugar, and cocoa mix. ( no cooking)

Topping: in a medium bowl
Add margarine, sugar, cocoa, milk, mix put in a pot on low flame boil for no more than one minute. ( usually I double this recipe)

Strawberrie's:
Slice thinly for the middle of the cake.

Notes:
Remember to pre-heat oven to 300°F, cooking time aprox. 25-30 minutes ( low flame)
In the following picture I doubled the cake recipe making it divided in 4 layers.

How to layer: After the cake is cooled, remove from pan, usually I slice it in half with dental floss , or a big knife. Place first layer on the tray of choice and place some cream, condensed milk, chocolate frosting and cover all this with strawberries ( the cream cond. milk and frosting give the cake needed moisture) do this with all layers, finally for the top add the frosting that was cooked( which should have a harder consistency) all around covering the whole. Decorate with stawberries, as you wish. Use your imagination!
