Pistachio & Strawberry Chocolate Cake Recipe PDF + Bonus Dessert Box

Inspired by an M&S limited edition chocolate strawberry and pistachio sandwich cake spotted on the shelf — this is the homemade version that goes far beyond the original.

A showstopping summer cake that requires no frosting, no smoothing, no elaborate decoration. The beauty is created entirely by fresh strawberry halves arranged around the edges, held in place with an acetate strip. The result looks like it came straight from a professional patisserie window — yet anyone can achieve it.

This is not just another chocolate cake. The sponge sits beautifully between a classic chiffon and a rich, moist brownie-style base — soft, airy, yet deeply chocolatey. Layered with an abundance of fresh strawberries, silky chocolate ganache flowing between the fruit, and a whipped pistachio ganache that is light, stable, and not overly sweet.

No covering. No complicated decorating. Just fresh fruit, a beautiful cross-section, and a cake that looks like it was made by a professional.
