  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the melted butter, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture simmers.
  3. Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of your cake pan. Arrange the sliced strawberries and blueberries in a decorative pattern over it.
  4. Gently pour the chocolate cake batter over the fruit layer, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate.
  7. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality fruits for the best flavor.
  • Avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist.
  • Let cool slightly before inverting to prevent sticking.
  • Line the cake pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
