# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small rectangular baking dish with parchment paper and grease it well.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until it’s fluffy. Crack in one egg at a time, stirring well after each one. Pour in the vanilla and milk. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder, then combine this dry mix with the wet ingredients slowly until it’s smooth.
03 -
Spoon the batter into your prepared dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake for around 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
04 -
Let the cake sit in its pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
05 -
Add chopped chocolate and cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in short 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and silky.
06 -
Once your cake is no longer warm, cut it into small squares around 2 inches each (roughly 5 cm).
07 -
Top each square with fresh strawberry slices and gently sprinkle powdered sugar over them.
08 -
Dip every square into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover the tops and sides. Place the coated pieces onto a parchment-lined tray to harden.
