    delicious strawberry greek yogurt cake with sugar glaze on top

    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. Give this a try!

    Tips and Procedures: 

    • 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 at room temperature. It prevents any fat in your batter to harden because of the cold temperature.

    How to Make this Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cake Recipe:

    Gather the ingredients for this Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cake.

    These are the ingredients you will need:

    • fresh strawberries
    • all-purpose flour
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • zest of a lemon
    • lemon juice
    • softened butter
    • sugar
    • eggs
    • greek plain or vanilla yogurt
    • powdered sugar

    Once the ingredients are all ready, let’s begin!

    Before starting the mixing of ingredients, don’t forget to preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease your bundt pan.

    Cut strawberries and set aside.

    In a bowl,add all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest, and mix:

    In another bowl, butter, sugar, and mix until well incorporated:

    Add in the eggs and mix well but not too long, it would make your cake texture rubbery:

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    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 at room temperature?

    A: Yes, room-temperature eggs are the 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, or 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, 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.
