"Love strawberries? Good! This strawberry yogurt cake with almonds is the perfect treat. Super simple, tender and delicious. Made in one bowl, with a short ingredient list and you can use other fruits if you want to. This strawberry cake might be easy but you’ll be surprised how good it is. The strawberries are sunken into the batter and as the cake bakes, the strawberry flavor intensifies. Soft and juicy, very light in texture and not soggy at all. Because I wanted some crunch, I added almond flakes to the batter.
The best received dessert I’ve made that didn’t involve chocolate or salted caramel. A cake that will get you running to the kitchen, will make you very happy and push this hyper-scheduled so-called adult life to the sidelines. It’s so simple, easy and all about strawberries. This is a cake that makes you want to sit down, take a break, relax and enjoy all the deliciousness.
A fluffy yogurt cake loaded with fresh strawberries and crunchy almonds. A celebration of spring."

- 10 1/2 ounces (300 grams) strawberries, halved
- 8 1/2 ounces (240 grams) flour
- 5 1/3 ounces (150 grams) sugar
- 4 ounces (120 grams) full fat yogurt
- 2 ounces (60 grams) butter
- 1 3/4 ounces (50 grams) almond flakes, roughly chopped, plus more for garnishing
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 lemon, zested
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9 inch round cake pan, by greasing with butter and lining with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the butter with sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined. Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, baking powder and salt and incorporate. Beat in 1/2 of the flour, then 1/2 of the yogurt. Add the remaining yogurt and flour, beat until just combined. Fold strawberries into the batter.
Step 3
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth it out. Sprinkle the top with chopped almond flakes.
Step 4
Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and bake until golden brown and a tester comes out dry, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan on a rack.
Step 5
Store leftovers at room temperature, covered for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
