4. Set the cake aside to cool and meanwhile make the buttercream by combining the butter and icing sugar. I often find a table spoon of milk helps to begin the icing sugar and butter mixing.

Then sandwich the buttercream and strawberries between the cake halves. Spread the remaining half of the buttercream on top of the cake and decorate with strawberries.

9. For a chocolate cake add 2 tablespoons of coca powder to the basic cake mix and the basic buttercream.
