With strawberries plentiful around here the moment, I always have them on hand. The other day I whipped up this super easy and tasty Strawberry Snacking Cake. A great one to keep in mind when time is not on your side and you’re looking for something fresh and seasonal much like the Strawberry Almond Muffins.

If you love a super easy cake recipe, make this one! It was honestly, so easy, so tasty and so fresh! We all enjoyed it and I served it with fresh whipped cream on the side for extra deliciousness.

Ingredients

• Dry ingredients – granulated white sugar, plain flour, baking powder, salt
• Dairy and eggs – eggs, Greek yogurt
• Fresh – strawberries
• Flavours – vanilla extract

REMEMBER, The full recipe and instructions can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven and prepare pan – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line an 8 x 6 inch baking dish. Set aside.
2. Combine dry ingredients – In a medium bowl, combine the flour (reserving one tablespoon), baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Mix butter and sugar – In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter on high till smooth. Add the sugar and mix for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Whisk in vanilla.
4. Combine batter – Add half of the flour mixture and stir to combine. Stir in yogurt and then remaining flour.
5. Add strawberries – In a medium bowl add the tablespoon of remaining flour to the strawberries and stir to coat. Fold the strawberries into the batter.
6. Bake cake Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out with just a few crumbs.
7. Allow to cool – Place on a wire rack to cool. Remove from pan when cooled and cut into squares.

Notes about the cake

• Dust the berries in flour – Before I add fruit to any batter, I coat it in a little flour.  This will help it from dropping to the bottom of your cake.  If you have ever had this problem in the past, this trick should work a treat.  I only used a tablespoon of extra flour for this recipe, and it worked wonders.  So give it a try.
• Don’t over mix the batter – A common mistake made in adding flour to cakes, is over mixing. This often results in a dense cake. You just want to add the flour until it’s combined.
• How to serve the cake – You could serve the cake just like this, or dress it up with icing, whipped cream, ice cream, yogurt, and whatever else you can think of.
