Equipment

8-inch cake pan

Ingredients

12 ounces strawberries
2 large eggs at room temperature
¾ cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
zest of ½ lemon optional

Instructions

Prep. Butter an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F or 178°C.
Prepare the strawberries. Dice about half the strawberries into approximately ½-inch pieces and cut the remaining strawberries in half.
Mix the wet ingredients. Place the eggs, Greek yogurt, oil and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk for about one minute. Add the sugar and lemon zest (if using) and whisk again for another minute.
Finish batter. Place a fine mesh sieve over the bowl and add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently sift the mixture into the bowl to ensure even distribution. Whisk well until lump-free.
👉 Alternatively, you can combine all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then add them to the wet ingredients.
Transfer batter into the pan. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Scatter the chopped strawberries over the top, then add the remaining batter and smooth the surface. Finish by arranging the halved strawberries on top, cut side down.
Bake. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until tooth pick inserted into middle comes out clean. Place pan on a wire rack to cool. Dust with confectioner's sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Bring eggs to room temperature before baking.

Do not overmix the batter.

Don't be tempted to add more strawberries. It tends to sweat and affects the light and airy texture of the cake.
