Ingredients
To make this egg-free chocolate strawberry cake recipe, you need the following items:
Use fresh strawberries for the perfect fruity, refreshing flavor. Slice them in two ways, one lengthwise (for decoration) and the other into small chunks (for incorporating into the cake).

Flour - Self-raising flour; it is premixed with baking powder and salt. If you don't have self-raising flour, use ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda.
Yogurt - Whole milk yogurt works well for the strawberry cake. It replaces the eggs.
Butter + oil - I prefer using both oil and butter. Use salted butter as it balances the sweetness of the cake. Use whatever you like.
Chocolate - Use any chocolate/chocolate chips. I use Lindt Lindor's assorted chocolate balls and cocoa powder to prepare the chocolate ganache.

How to make eggless strawberry chocolate cake
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil, yogurt, butter, sliced strawberries, and cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth. Gradually fold in flour until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour the batter into a lined cake tin. Level off the top with a spatula and tap gently to remove bubbles. Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes or until the skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool completely, and remove it from the tin.
To prepare the chocolate ganache, mix milk and cocoa powder. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until it is smooth and glossy.
Note: Avoid burning the chocolate. If 30 seconds is not enough to melt the chocolate, microwave for 10-second increments until the desired results are achieved. Stir the chocolate ganache well to get a smooth consistency.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake and gently spread it with the back of a spoon. Start at the center and work your way outward, then finish with sliced strawberries on top.
Note: Allow the chocolate ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the cake.
Chill for at least 30 minutes, so everything sets beautifully. Slice and serve the fresh strawberry cake!
Storage
Store this egg-free strawberry chocolate cake in the fridge. The cake stays fresh for up to 2-3 days if stored in the fridge. Avoid storing this cake at room temperature, as the strawberries spoil quickly.
Serving Ideas
Try this cake with lemon mint tea for fruity harmony, where lemon's citrus notes complement the strawberry layer nicely, enhancing the fruitiness without overpowering it.

Tips
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
Keep the batter thick so it doesn't turn runny.
Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the tin.
Pour the ganache while it's still slightly warm and allow it to set.
Store the finished cake in the fridge.
