Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries divided in half
- 2 ¼ c all purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 c white granulated sugar
- ½ c unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 c full fat Greek yogurt at room temperature
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9 inch springform baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the bottom and sides of the pan with butter or nonstick baking spray.
- Trim the green stems from half of the strawberries, then cut them in half. Set aside the remaining strawberries to decorate the top of the baked cake. You can trim and slice them or leave them whole if you prefer.
- In a medium size bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine then set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and butter. Beat on a medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla then the eggs – one at a time, beating on a medium speed between each addition until thoroughly incorporated.
- Tip the flour mixture into the mixing bowl along with the Greek yogurt. Beat on a low speed until only just combined. Do not over mix. The batter will be thick.
- Transfer the cake batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a palette knife or the back of a spoon. Place the sliced strawberries from step 2 on top of the cake batter.
- Place the pan into the middle of the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is lightly golden, the cake is shrinking slightly away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the pan for ten minutes, then unclip the sides of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
- When the cake is cool, arrange the remaining strawberries on top. Dust with powdered sugar then slice, serve and enjoy!
