Chocolate Lover's Dream Cake {Happy Galentine's Day!}

'Tis the season for chocolate covered strawberries, hearts on everything, pink & red, hugs & kisses. Orrrr...'tis the season for all that annoying lovey-dovey crap. Regardless of your mindset, if you're in a relationship or single, Hangin' with the girls or hangin' with your cats, Valentine's should be handled the same way... With cake!

While chocolate cakes are not my personal first choice, when it comes to cake requests in February- chocolate trumps all. And when I think of a Valentine's Day cake, this cake here is what pops into my head. I know putting chocolate covered strawberries on top of a chocolate layered cake isn't the most original idea, but I think this is the type of cake that will never be dated. It's simple, classy, & elegant.

 And whether you're a sweets person or not, chocolate covered strawberries are always tempting!
