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 for Making This Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cake Recipe: 

  • 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?

A: Yes, room temperature eggs are best to use when baking. This is because when you add a cold egg to a batter, it could harden the fat that you have mixed in the batter, e.g. butter, oil.

Q: Can I make this cake into 3 layers?

A: Yes. You can slice this cake into three layers. Make sure that the cake is cool enough before you slice it horizontally or else, it the cake will break.

    I tried but substituted the butter with 1 cup vegetable oil and reduced brown sugar to 1 and a half cup. I added 1 tsp baking powder to give a little rise. It is great. Thanks for your recipe.
