This chocolate strawberry cream bundt cake is moist and tender, with deep, chocolaty cake, a sweet strawberry center, and strawberry whipped cream frosting.

I’m a long-time chocolate cake lover. I grew up on classics like German chocolate cake. When I began baking, I loved toying with the chocolaty flavor to create variations like chocolate brownie pudding cake or chocolate cake with mocha mascarpone frosting.

My newest twist on chocolate cake combines the classic cake with a sweet strawberry filling and a light, airy strawberry whipped cream frosting for a classic dessert with an equally classic flavor combo.

This is the perfect cake for special occasions or a dessert after a hearty, comfort food dinner like chicken pot pie casserole, Mississippi pork chops, or old fashioned tuna noodle casserole.
