Eggless Strawberry Chocolate Cake

I haven’t gone around to share a new recipe on the blog for a while now. I’m sorry for being missing in action. That is because I was busy setting up my YouTube channel – Bake With Shivesh, which is going live tomorrow! I’m so nervous for you guys to see the first video! But to make up for my silence here, I thought I’ll share the recipe of this eggless strawberry chocolate cake, which is so delicious. It brings together two most popular flavors- chocolate and strawberries into a beautiful cake, which would make everyone happy.

I’m really sad about the strawberry season ending and wanted to make the most of the last few batches left. If you still have some strawberries left, you should definitely bake this eggless strawberry chocolate cake. Trust me, this is one decision you would not regret! If you’re equally sad about the strawberry season ending, you should read my article of how to preserve strawberries.

I top this rich eggless strawberry chocolate cake with my favorite cream cheese frosting. You can find the frosting recipe HERE. You’ll be blown away by how yum this cake is. It’s difficult to believe it’s eggless. The best part is that the recipe is so simple to follow. You only need some basic ingredients and you’d be able to whip it up in no time. Now let’s make some great use of the last few strawberries left and bake a perfect strawberry chocolate cake! Don’t forget to share a picture with me on my Instagram using #BakeWithShivesh.
