Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until blended.
Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth. Gradually stir in boiling water.
Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for ten minutes before transferring to wire racks.
For the filling, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat for about five minutes until softened. Stir in cornstarch mixture until thickened and cool.
For the ganache, heat cream until hot and pour over chopped chocolate; stir until smooth.
Assemble by layering one cake with half the strawberry filling, topping with the second layer, frosting with ganache, and decorating with fresh strawberries.
