My original recipe for Drunken Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake can easily be converted to non-alcoholic. Simply substitute strawberry pop or red cream soda for the alcohol. You may want to garnish with fresh strawberries dipped in white chocolate for a more elegant look when entertaining. Store leftover cake (if there is any) in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This chocolate strawberry cake is rich and decadent. The cake itself is chocolaty and moist. You can taste a hint of the infused strawberry sauce that soaks into the cake. On top is a silky smooth chocolate frosting. Combining marshmallow cream and cream cheese makes it tangy and sweet. It was so good, it almost didn't make it onto the cake because we kept trying just a little bit more. This simple dessert is an easy way to jazz up a boxed cake.
