Strawberry Yogurt Cake Recipe
A freshly baked strawberry bundt cake is an impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion and easy to throw together. Made with juicy strawberries and a few basic ingredients, this cake looks amazing and tastes heavenly.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (1 lemon)
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 12 ounces strawberries (2 cups chopped)
GLAZE
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries (powdered)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla and lemon zest and beat to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Add a ⅓ to the butter mixture, alternating with yogurt, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until combined and smooth.
- Gently fold in the strawberries and spoon the batter into the bundt pan, leveling off the surface so that it is even.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. It should be firm to the touch.
- Let cool for 10 minutes and then invert onto a wire rack.
GLAZE:
- Place the freeze dried strawberries in a food processor and process until they are powder. In the alternative, you can place in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, powdered strawberries and milk or cream until you have the consistency you want. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Frozen strawberries will not work for this recipe, they will add too much liquid.
- You need to use a Greek yogurt which is thicker than non-Greek. You can substitute sour cream.
- Make sure to zest the lemon before cutting.
- This also tastes great with a cream cheese frosting or for a less sweet version, just sprinkle with powdered sugar.
