Red Velvet Strawberry Cake
Adding strawberries to a red velvet cake is a fun twist on the classic chocolate-and-strawberry combo. While there's not as much cocoa powder in a red velvet cake as there is a traditional chocolate cake, a little bit goes a long way when the cocoa is bloomed in hot coffee to boost its flavor. Whole strawberries hidden inside the cream cheese filling make a dramatic reveal when the cake is sliced open.
