So, without saying much, let's get into more details:

Prepare a cake

The first step for an eggless chocolate strawberry cake recipe is to prepare a cake using fresh strawberries and cocoa powder in the following way:

1. Combine sugar, oil, yogurt, butter, chopped strawberries and cocoa powder into a bowl and whisk well. (Image 1 below)
   • Make sure to rinse and blot dry strawberries before use.
   • Slice stems off at the top and then slice them into little chunks. This way, you can enjoy these chunks in each bite.
   • Use salted butter as it balances out the sweetness of the cake.
     
2. Next, add flour slowly while whisking to avoid any lump formation. (Image 2 below)
   • If not using self-raising flour, consider adding baking powder and baking soda to the all-purpose flour.
     
3. Pour batter into a lined cake tin. Level off the top with the help of a spatula and tap gently to remove bubbles if entrapped. (Image 3 below)
   
4. Bake at 180 degrees centigrade for 35- 40 minutes or until the skewer inserted comes out clean.
   
5. Cool it completely and remove it from the tin.

Chocolate ganache

There are so many ways to prepare the ganache. For this, I use any chocolates I have at my place + cocoa powder if the chocolates are not dark ones. I like this low-calorie ganache microwave easy peasy way, which is as follows:

1. Add chilled milk (low fat or fat-free) to the cocoa powder in a bowl.
   
2. Stir well to dissolve cocoa powder completely.
   
3. Pour this into the chocolates (mix of hazelnuts, milk and dark chocolates) and microwave for 30 seconds.
   
4. Stir to mix well.

Note:

• Take care not to overburn the chocolates. If you feel 30 seconds is not enough to melt the chocolates, microwave for every 10 seconds till you get the desired results.
  
• Stir well chocolate ganache to make sure all the chocolates have melted completely.

Decorate the cake

1. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake and spread it uniformly with a spoon using gentle pressure. (image below1)
   
2. Decorate with sliced strawberries. (see image below 2)

Note:

• If your chocolate ganache is too hot, allow it to cool slightly before pouring it over a cake.
  
• Start at the centre of the cake and work outward.
  
• The Cake should be cooled completely before adding ganache.

Refrigerate

• Once you cover the cake with chocolate ganache, keep the cake in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache.
  
• Slice and serve the best eggless chocolate strawberry cake!

Storage Suggestions

• Store this egg-free strawberry chocolate cake in the fridge
  
• Please do not keep this cake at room temperature for more than 1-2 hours as the strawberries start to spoil quickly.
  
• The cake stays fresh for up to 2 days if you keep it in the fridge.

Substitutions

• For a richer chocolatey flavour, use dark chocolate chips instead of chocolates while making the ganache.
  
• If not calorie conscious, substitute milk with butter (1 tablespoon) to melt the chocolates for the ganache.
  
• For vegan options, consider using vegan yogurt and butter.
  
• Use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not available.
  
• For the gluten-free cake, make use of gluten-free flour or almond flour.

Tips N Suggestions

1. Use fresh strawberries for the best aroma and flavour of the cake.
   
2. Rinse and blot dry strawberries before use.
   
3. The cake batter should be thick and dense; otherwise, the juice released from the strawberries during baking will loosen the cake and make it more fluid.
   
4. Skip cocoa powder if using dark chocolate chips for making chocolate ganache.
   
5. Line the cake tin before preparing the cake batter. It will save you time.
   
6. The cake should be cooled before removing it from the cake tin.
   
7. Make sure that the chocolate ganache should be slightly warm.
   
8. Give the cake sufficient time to set ganache before serving.
   
9. Always store the strawberry chocolate cake in the fridge.
