Chocolate-Strawberry Celebration Cake

• 1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
• 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
• 2 cups butter, softened
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 3/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1/2 cup 2% milk
• 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
• 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
• 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1. Combine the first seven ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Transfer to two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
2. Bake at 350u0b0 for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, confectioner's sugar and cocoa until light and fluffy. Beat in milk until smooth. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake.
4. Pipe or spoon melted chocolate onto waxed paper in decorative designs; let stand until set.
5. For ganache, place chocolate in a small bowl. Heat cream just to a boil; pour over chocolate and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over top of cake, allowing ganache to drape down the sides. Arrange strawberries on top of cake. Top with chocolate garnishes.
