Strawberry syrup for cake

  • 2 cups strawberries fresh or frozen, diced
  • 2 teaspoon water

Wet ingredients for cake

  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup butter softened

Instructions
 

Mix and bake the cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two cake pans.
  • Combine the ingredients for the strawberry flavoring syrup in a small pan. Bring them to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the stove and allow them to cool.
  • Combine the dry ingredients for the cake in one bowl with a whisk.
  • Mix the wet ingredients for the cake in a large mixing bowl. Add the strawberry flavoring syrup and then the dry ingredients. Mix well but do not over-mix.
  • Pour the batter into the 2 round greased cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the cake springs back to the touch or a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool on a rack before frosting.

Frosting and garnishing the cake

  • Mix the butter and powdered sugar together with a hand beater or mixing machine. Add the vanilla. Whip until it is soft and creamy.
  • Place a thin layer of frosting on the center of the cake with a few of the berries.
  • Place the 2nd layer of cake on top and add the rest of the frosting. Spread smooth.
  • Top with berries.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate to serve later.
