Strawberry Cake

Quick and Easy moist vanilla based cake loaded with fresh strawberries. This strawberry cake is a must when strawberries are in season. The cake is made with yogurt and oil which keeps the cake moist even after few days. I love this recipe for several reason: its not overly sweet, requires simple ingredients and all done in one mixing bowl only requiring a whisk !

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY CAKE

The ingredients required for strawberry cake are below:

Strawberries – Chop some to go in the cake, half some to go on top;

Flour, sugar, egg, baking powder, vanilla, salt 

Oil and yogurt make the cake really soft and moist.

Combine wet ingredients first and then fold in the flour and sugar. Pour half the batter in the baking tin and spread some chopped strawberries. Pour in the remaining batter and arrange the halved strawberries.

Baking Tips

• Use room temperature eggs – To bring eggs to room temperature quickly, place cold eggs into a bowl of warm water (not hot) for 5-7 minutes, then dry with paper towels.
• Do not over-mix – once the flour is incorporated, stop mixing , its okay for the mixture to be lumpy.
• Measure flour correctly – spoon flour into a dry ingredient measuring cup and scrape off the top with a straight edge.
