How to make Strawberry Yogurt Cake?
Preheat the oven, and grease and flour a 9×13 pan. Set it aside till the batter is ready. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in the eggs, strawberry yogurt, and canola oil. Stir everything together till you have a nice and thick batter. If it’s too thick you can stir in one or two tablespoons of milk.
Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, and spread the batter evenly. Bake the cake until a toothpick can be inserted and comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Sprinkle powdered sugar evenly over the top of the cake. Top the cake with strawberry halves or slices. Slice up the cake and enjoy!
How to store Strawberry Yogurt Cake?
Once the fresh strawberries are placed on top of the cake you’ll want to store any leftovers in the fridge to keep the strawberries fresh. I recommend only putting strawberries on the slices of cake that are going to be eaten immediately to keep the cake from getting soggy, and the strawberries from going bad. The cake without the strawberries can be stored at room temperature with a lid, or covered in plastic wrap for up to three days.

Hello 🙂
Thank you for this yummy looking recipe!
I do have a question though.. as I live in Malawi Africa, fresh strawberries are rare to impossible to find, so would this work with mango yogurt and fresh mangoes?? As those are plentiful here🙈😂
Thank you!
Ellen says
I think it would be delicious was mangos. Let me know how it turns out.
Donna says
This is not a good recipe! The cake is dense and tasteless. Only the strawberries on top are good! Had to bake 1 1/2 hours to get a clean toothpick!
Ellen says
It is a dense cake and the flavor is subtle. Interesting it took so long to cook in your oven. But it is okay if it is not a favorite. I hope you can try some of our other cake recipes to see what you think.
Cindy says
It sounds good! But thats alot of sugar, 3 cups? Why so much?
Aimee says
There is also a lot of flour in the cake, so the sugar helps balance it out. You could probably cut it a bit, maybe 1/2 cup less.
Diana says
Could I do half the quantity of sugar? Family usually doesn’t like it too sweet.
Also, do you think I could use this recipe for a 6” cake (and divide the batter in 3 before putting in oven)?
Aimee says
I’m not sure if I’d cut the sugar in half, I’d probably start by reducing it to 2 cups instead of 3, but if you try it with less, let me know.
It may be a little more batter than you’d need for the 6inch pans, since each round pan will hold about 4 cups, and a 9×13 pan can hold about 14 cups. So just make sure to not fill the pans to full to prevent overflow, about 2/3 full.
Let me know how it goes!
