6 cups fresh strawberries
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1-2/3 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa or special dark cocoa
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2/3 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips
1 cup (1/2 pt.) cold whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar

Reserve 6 strawberries. Slice remaining berries; in bowl, gently stir together sliced berries and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Heat oven to 450. Grease 8-inch round baking pan.

Stir together flour, cocoa, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir together milk, egg and chocolate chips; add all at once to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Spread dough in prepared pan, building up edges slightly.

Arrange some sliced berries over cake; top with whipped cream. Garnish with reserved whole strawberries; serve with remaining sliced berries. Serves 8
