Description

This Strawberry Cake with Fresh Strawberries is all about vibrant flavors and easy preparation, combining fresh berries into a moist cake that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (500g) fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • powdered sugar, for dusting
  • whipped cream and fresh strawberries, for serving-optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Dice a third of the strawberries into ½ pieces for the batter, and slice the rest in half for topping. Lightly toss the diced strawberries with flour or a little strawberry pudding mix to reduce moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until thick and pale yellow. Add the oil, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
  4. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour half the batter into the pan, scatter the diced strawberries on top, then add the remaining batter, smoothing the top.
  6. Arrange the halved strawberries cut side down on top of the batter.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Cover loosely with aluminum foil if the top browns too quickly.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for about 20 minutes, remove the ring, transfer to a serving plate, and let cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream and fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

For even baking, ensure the diced strawberries are small and coated lightly with flour before mixing into the batter.
Baking time may vary based on the juiciness of the strawberries and your oven, so keep an eye on the cake towards the end of baking.
