Do strawberry cakes also remind you of warm spring weekends? For me, there’s no picnic, barbecue, or garden party in spring without a strawberry yogurt cake. Mildly sweet and punctuated by that bold, red darling fruit, there’s no better match for these gently warm days! Plus, this simple beauty is a good friend to anyone whose managing a busy schedule. Read below to find out just how to do so.

Strawberries and yogurt are a wonderful combination in a cake. Both ingredients lend to a particular freshness and moistnes. To make this strawberry yogurt cake recipe, you’ll need a good amount of fresh strawberries. Greek yogurt, cane sugar, eggs, vanilla, spelt flour, butter, baking powder, and powdered sugar should also be on your shopping list.

For our cake, you need a springform pan with a 10 inch diameter. Grease the edges and line the bottom with parchment paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan while baking.

Now it’s time to make the batter. Start by creaming together the vanilla beans with the butter, salt, and sugar using a mixer. Then, add the eggs and stir in the yogurt. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Then gradually add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until smooth. Finally, pour the batter into the pan and top with washed and halved strawberries. Now, all that’s left is the baking! Your strawberry yogurt cake needs to bake for about 35 minutes. This is maybe the hardest step in the process, having enough patience until the first slice is ready to be enjoyed! Don’t worry. It’s worth the wait!

Our tip: For an extra sweet kick, sprinkle powdered sugar over the strawberry yogurt cake before serving.
