Bake or purchase a 9-inch chocolate cake and allow it to cool completely. Cut the cake into 1-inch cubes.

Wash the strawberries, hull them, and slice them thinly.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.

In a clear glass trifle dish or large bowl, create the first layer by placing an even layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom.

Add a layer of sliced strawberries over the cake cubes, ensuring they are evenly spread.
Step 8
Spoon a layer of whipped cream over the strawberries, spreading evenly to cover the fruit layer.
Step 9
Repeat the layering process with more cake, strawberries, and whipped cream until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
