chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate chips provide a richer flavor.

Mix the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk until fluffy.

Add the eggs, milk, vanilla flavoring, melted dark chocolate, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to the mixture and stir until a smooth batter is created.

Transfer the batter to a greased ring cake pan and bake for 55 minutes at 320°F in a convection oven.

While the cake cools, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and cream together until smooth.

Make cuts about ⅗ inch from the inner and outer edges of the cake all the way around.

Use a dessert spoon to remove the cake between the cuts, hollowing it out evenly without taking too much from the bottom.

Line the insides of the cake with banana slices and add the cream filling on top.

Set the strawberries pointed end down in the cream all the way around the cake.

Crumble the removed cake and distribute it evenly over the cream, packing the crumbs tightly together.

Leave the cake in a cool place for at least two hours.

Turn the cake out of the pan and pour melted milk chocolate couverture over it evenly.

Use a spoon dipped in melted white chocolate to create white stripes over the cake.
