Yogurt cake with fresh strawberries

There’s something irresistible about a simple yogurt cake. Light, moist, and effortlessly delicious, it’s the kind of dessert that is perfect for an afternoon coffee or even for brunch. Adding fresh strawberries brings a burst of natural sweetness and color, creating a cake that tastes like spring and summer in every bite.

This yogurt cake is wonderfully tender thanks to the yogurt, which keeps the crumb soft without making it heavy. Fresh strawberries are folded into the batter and scattered on top, where they become juicy pockets of fruit as the cake bakes. A light dusting of powdered sugar is all it needs to finish.


Ingredients


500 g Greek yogurt
4 large eggs
50 g sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract
100 g all-purpose flour (optionally 50g vanilla protein powder)
2 tsp baking powder
225 g fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
Powdered sugar, for dusting


Method

1. Preheat your oven to 160°C.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

5. Gently fold in about 1 cup of the diced strawberries.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Scatter the remaining strawberries over the surface.

7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely

9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Serving Suggestions
