Strawberry and yogurt cake

Pin It Now!


Last week I did some fun by doing recipe adaptation for my afternoon tea, to give me little idea I took some of my dessert recipe books.

Having a sit back contentedly, focusing to what I wanted to try, few dessert books are on my lap and i took a glance that some of the issue are really looks enticing!

This recipe comes from couples recipe books that I've combined and it has been modified to what I have on hand and present the one after all. 
After I absorbed some selected recipes, I tried to make up my mind and decided to go with fresh strawberry and yogurt, it sounds perfect to me!



Well, yes, I like everything easy to make, delicious or even I can make it with one eyes open lol, I dare! 
So after done doing all the house chores, I can still have my time to make the dear one having a happy tummy. 

I do love to pamper them with my treat, make them thoughts that eating home cook food is healthy at the same time it so comforting. 


This cake is surprisingly delicious, I adapt and made it as simple as I can, all I need only the very basic ingredients and equipments. 

What I expected is what I get, the strawberry offer very delicate aroma and flavour- it infused deeply succulent to the cake, the edible seeds have work perfect as texture and the creaminess of yogurt just has completed the cake turned phenomenal!
To offsite its natural sourness I’ve put correct quantity sugar so I was glad to spot the treat and pinned it as much-loved cake ever!
