Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the 1 box chocolate cake mix, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5
Spread the 1 cup chocolate frosting over the cooled cake. Top with the 1 strawberry, sliced or whole, before serving.
