Instruction
- To make the cake, bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the butter to the water and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract; stir until well combined.
- Add the flour, sugar, soda, and salt and whisk until smooth.
- Place a rack in the center of the oven; preheat oven to 350 °F. Spray a 9×13-inch sheet pan (a quarter-sheet pan) with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.
- To make the frosting, lightly whip the cream and sugar to soft peaks. Divide the cream into three bowls and mix each whipped topping with a separate flavor : vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and strawberry. Spread generously in thirds across the cooled cake.
