  4. Assemble the Cake: Place one layer of chocolate cake on a serving plate. Spread frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the sides and top. Decorate with halved strawberries.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and line cake pans with parchment paper.
