While perusing Pinterest and procrastinating for my Econ exam, I stumbled upon this mouthwatering idea: Chocolate Strawberry Cake. These are possibly my three favorite words in the English language, but put together? Unbelievable. Plus, all of the ingredients in this recipe were pre-made, so the opportunity cost (I swear I studied) of baking the cake versus studying wasn’t nearly as high. Econ jokes aside, with a kitchen at my disposal and strawberry season slowly but surely on its way, I set out to start baking. And boy, was the result delicious.
