Bright, springy, and utterly moist—this easy Strawberry Cake Recipe brings fresh strawberries and homemade charm to any celebration.
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour substitute half whole-wheat for nutty taste
- 1 tbsp baking powder aluminum-free
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar reduce to ¾ cup for less sweet
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature (Kerrygold works well)
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt for extra creaminess
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups diced fresh strawberries plus extra for garnish
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- ¼ cup powdered sugar for whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Alternate adding flour mixture and yogurt to the butter-sugar mixture.
- Gently fold in diced strawberries.
- Divide batter between pans and bake for 25–28 minutes.
- Beat cold heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Layer cake rounds with whipped cream and strawberry compote.
- Garnish with strawberries and enjoy!
Notes
Pick strawberries that smell sweet at the stem—ripe but firm. Let eggs and yogurt warm to room temp so the batter stays light. If you like a sweeter dessert, choose berries at peak ripeness.
