1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 (16 ounce) bottle Coca-Cola
2 tablespoons orange peel, grated
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 large strawberries, preferably unhulled
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Invert cake onto wire rack cool completely.
  • Cake may be made and stored, tightly wrapped, up to two days before decorating.

  • Stir chocolate chips in small heavy saucepan over very low heat until melted and smooth; remove from heat.
  • Dip strawberries into chocolate to coat halfway, placing each berry as it is dipped on cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
  • Refrigerate berries until ready to use.
  • Cut cooled cake horizontally into 2 equal layers with sharp serrated knife; place bottom layer on large cookie sheet.
  • Beat butter in large bowl with mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and chocolate drink mix until smooth.
  • Beat 1/3 cup of remaining cola, remaining 1 tablespoon grated orange peel and vanilla until thoroughly blended and smooth.
  • Spread half of frosting over bottom cake layer; top with second layer.
  • Swirl remaining frosting over top of cake. Cut cake into 12 portions; arrange on platter.
