Step 1
Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package directions, baking in two 8-inch round pans. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half the whipped cream over the top, then top with the second cake layer.
Step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring, until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Use a spatula to spread if needed.
Step 6
Top the cake with the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, arranging them in a decorative pattern.
Step 7
Chill the cake for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
