Devil's Food Cake
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon almond extract
3 eggs at room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 pounds fresh strawberries
Chocolate Ganache
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 heavy cream
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules

1
Preheat the over to 350. Prepare two 9 inch cake pans.
2
Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add in the sugar and beat 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add in the eggs one at a time.
3
In a small bowl, measure cocoa and stir in the freshly brewed hot coffee until completely dissolved. Set aside to let cool.
4
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk milk into reserved cocoa mixture. With mixer on low speed, alternately add flour and cocoa mixtures to the batter, a little of each at a time, starting and ending with flour mixture.
5
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake 30 to 40 minutes until tester comes out clean. Allow cakes to rest in pans for 10 minutes before turning out and transferring to wire racks to cool. Allow to cool completely.
6
Prepare the chocolate ganache using a double boiler. Heat the chocolate and cream until melted, stirring frequently. Add instant coffee and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
7
To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving platter; spread 1/3 of the chocolate ganache on top. Cover with sliced strawberries, working around the outside of the cake in. Drizzle ganache on top. Add a second layer of strawberries. Drizzle with ganache. Place the second cake on top. Spread 1/3 ganache on top and cover with strawberries. Finish by drizzling with the remaining ganache.
8
To make the whipped cream, beat 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Add 1 tsp almond extract and mix until combined.
9
Cut the cake and serve with a big dollop of fresh whipped cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
