Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cake

Preheat your oven for the dynamic duo of fruit and chocolate in this crowd-pleasing recipe for Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cake.

Moist strawberry cake, chocolate ganache glaze and fresh strawberries just might be the greatest confectionery trifecta to ever grace these pages. But it doesn’t stop there…

This bundt cake is loaded up with all the good stuff, including tangy Greek yogurt (hello, moisture!) and a hearty swirl of strawberry jam.

Once the cake hits the oven, it’s time to move on to the oh-so-shiny chocolate ganache glaze.

Pour it on to your heart’s content then top your dessert crown with endless quartered strawberry jewels to complete the chocolate-covered strawberry effect (but in way better form than the O.G.).

Dense, moist cake meets rich chocolate glaze meets fresh, juicy berries. Win, win and win!

Feeling adventurous? Swap in any flavor of jam, including raspberry or orange marmalade, and try a variety of chocolates, from semisweet to dark. The flavor combos are endless!
