- Granulated Sugar – to keep things sweet
- Large Eggs – for lift and structure

How To Make Fresh Strawberry Cake
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan (10-15 cup pan). In a large bowl, sift together 2 1/4 cups of flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the lemon zest and set aside.
With an electric stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Alternate beating in the flour mixture and the yogurt, mixing just until incorporated.
Toss the strawberries with the remaining ¼ cup of flour. Gently mix them into the batter.
Pour the yogurt cake batter into the Bundt pan. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Once cooled whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the powdered sugar. Drizzle over the top of the cake.
Tips & Tricks
- For a pink cake that looks extra festive, add a drop of red food coloring to the batter!
- The outside of a bundt cake is going to be a bit darker than a normal cake! It cooks more quickly on the exterior than the interior, so make sure that the interior is done before you take it out of the oven.
- Allow the cake to cool before applying the glaze! Otherwise, it will just slide right off.
- Don’t let the cake get stuck in the pan! You have to grease and flour the bundt cake well in order for the cake to not get stuck in those nooks and crannies!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these bundt cake recipes?
Absolutely! This strawberry bundt cake recipe is super freezer friendly. Just be sure to wrap the cake well to protect it from freezer burn. Then thaw slowly at room temperature when you are ready to serve it.
My strawberries all sunk to the bottom of the pan. How can I fix this?
Thick yogurt with less moisture in it will produce a thicker batter, in which the berries won’t sink to the bottom (top) of the cake as seen in the photos. Instead, the berries will be evenly suspended throughout the cake.
However, I personally like the layer of berries on the top of the cake, so I use traditional yogurt instead of Greek-style yogurt.
How do I keep the cake from sticking to the pan?
A good bunt pan should have a nonstick coating. Even so, it’s best togrease and flour the pan thoroughly, making sure to cover all the nooks and crannies. This is the secret ingredient.
If your bundt cakes continue to stick to the pan, it’s probably time to invest in a new bundt pan.
I’ve had a few questions about the texture of the batter.
The consistency of the yogurt and the juiciness of the berries, greatly determine the consistency of the batter. Thick (dryer) yogurt will produce a thicker batter, in which the berries won’t sink to the bottom (top) of the cake as seen in the photos. Either way, it is a great cake. Don’t worry about the thickness of the batter.
