Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cake

Not very many people like eating cake for birthdays, so I made a Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cake which is an awesome alternative to the regular birthday cake.

Tips and Tricks: 

• Before mixing the powdered sugar or confectioner’s sugar with lemon juice for the glaze, make sure you have sifted it well. A lumpy glaze wouldn’t look so appetizing 😀
• For a more festive look, top with whipped cream and sliced fresh strawberries before serving.
• You can slice this cake horizontally after cooling and put some delicious fillings like cream cheese with chopped fresh strawberries!
• When using eggs for baking, it is best to have them in room temperature. It prevents any fat in your batter to harden because of the cold temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions for the Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cake Recipe:

Q: My cake sticks in the baking pan. What should I do?

A: Before pouring in the cake batter, you should spray it with baking spray.

Q: Should my eggs be in room temperature?
