![]() I am going to try the recipe again using regular yogurt (not Greek) and maybe swirl strawberry preserves in the first layer with diced strawberry chunks. I added the flour, mixed by hand and baked in a 9-inch springform for 50 min. I went to find the flour and when I returned to the bowl I found that the batter was kinda bubbly from the addition of the baking powder (I suspect some sort of chemistry thing happened). I did not mix the dry ingredients first before adding to the wet…first added the baking powder and vigorously mixed. Anyway, I mixed the wet ingredients (used sunflower oil which is tasteless and light) and squeezed out all the juice from one lemon (have no idea if I was close to 1/4 cup but I did add some water at the end because the batter was super thick). So you are right, the batter is very forgiving as I was making this without an electric beater. It’s terrific both ways – at room temp OR warm. Especially with that (adventurous! risky!) scoop of ice cream I plonked on the side. ![]() As with most cakes, the inside is a little “pudding like” when it’s still warm from the oven (hence why most cake recipes sternly instruct you to be patient and let the cake cool fully before serving).īut for this Strawberry Cake, that “pudding like” texture with the warm strawberries just seemed to enhance the eating experience. Though recently, I really showed my wild side when I served it warm with ice cream – and it was to die for. So for me, a (big!) dollop of freshly whipped cream is mandatory for serving. I’m so unoriginal that whenever I see strawberries and baked goods, I immediately think cream. Some of the strawberries go inside the cake – not too much, I was a little overenthusiastic about this at first but the strawberries made the batter so wet and weighed it down so much it took 1 hour 40 minutes to cook! Most go on top – they hold their form pretty well but burst with juice when you bite into them. Whisk Wet ingredients first, then mix the dry in. ![]() Oil and yogurt or sour cream – as noted above, this is what keeps the crumb really moist as well as adding a touch of tang, reinforcing the brightness we get from the lemon.īeing that this doesn’t have creamed butter in it, it’s a one-bowl, hand mixed batter. Lemon – the freshness of lemon works so well in cakes made with berries! Proof -> Strawberry Cheesecake, Blueberry Cake, Blueberry Cheesecake Bars, Blueberry Lemon Loaf and Strawberries – 500g/1 lb to be exact! Some goes in the cake, most goes on top įlour, sugar, egg, baking powder, vanilla, salt – all the usual suspects in cakes I’ve used it for Blueberry Cake and this Lemon Yogurt Cake if you’d like to read feedback from people who have tried it (spoiler: it’s good!) It’s still a beautifully soft crumb, it’s just not as delicate as traditional butter and sponge cakes. The cake is made with a yogurt and oil based batter which keeps the crumb beautifully moist for days and gives it more structure than delicate sponge cakes made with creamed butter so it can stand up to the weight and considerable juices that sweat out of the strawberries. * No cheating = no food colouring, no strawberry flavouring, no fancy pants ingredients like freeze dried strawberries.
