Strawberry Yogurt Cake

Fresh strawberries make a delicious and healthy dessert on their own. However, there are many other tasty desserts that can be created with strawberries. I happened upon this recipe on Pinterest last year and it was a real favorite in my house.

Strawberry Yogurt Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, divided
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
  3. Sift together the 2 ¼ cups of flour, baking soda and salt. Mix in the lemon zest and set aside.
  4. With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 Tbsp. lemon juice. Alternate beating in the flour mixture and the yogurt, mixing just until incorporated.
  6. Toss the strawberries with the remaining ¼ cup of flour. Gently mix them into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan.
  8. Place in the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees.
  9. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  11. Once cooled whisk together the remaining 2 Tb. of lemon juice and the powdered sugar. Drizzle over the top of the cake.
