Instead serving chocolate cake as is, decorate it simple way, with strawberry slices!

Step 1: Coring Strawberries

You can use knife obviously, but by using a firm straw, the hole would be the same size for each strawberry.

Just remove the leaves and/or stems and push in your straw, voila

Halved, then slice each halves thinly as shown on the last picture.

Step 2: Chocolate Cake

This is a chocolate cake that I learned while living in Hungary. Many variety of chocolate cakes of course, and you can use your own favorite chocolate cake!
