Chocolate-Strawberry Cake Recipe??

My friend's birthday is comming up and I was planning on baking her a surprise birthday cake. She loves chocolate and strawberries. Are there any recipes for a two-layer chocolate cake with some sort of strawberry glaze or something, made from fresh strawberries, in between? Also, could I do some sort of dark chocolate frosting that wasn't too sweet, because a cake that's too sweet doesn't taste good, if you know what I mean. Any ideas?
