Ingredients
  

Cake
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 ounces Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 12 ounces fresh strawberries diced
Lemon Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan or bundt pan.
  2. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in Greek yogurt and lemon zest.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold diced strawberries gently into the batter.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 40–45 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  8. Cool cake completely before whisking together powdered sugar and lemon juice for the glaze.
  9. Drizzle glaze over cake and let set before slicing.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for best texture. Toss strawberries lightly in flour to help prevent sinking. Store covered for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
