I have been making this strawberry yogurt cake for the past 13 years and it never disappoints! My sister first introduced me to it and through the years I have created my own recipes of how I like to make it. I have brought this cake to many get togethers, potlucks, birthday parties and baby showers and everyone always wants the recipe. It’s also many of my families very favorite cake!
It’s the perfect Easter or spring cake because it’s so bright, fresh and delicious! The cake it moist and has the best texture and the frosting is fluffy and fresh!. The strawberry flavors are dreamy in this cake.
I like to use Yo-plait yogurt in this cake because of the smooth constancy and intensity of their flavor but I have also used other brands to make it and they work too. The cake pictured below was made using Walmart brand strawberry yogurt. It does have little chunks of strawberry in it that are not there if you use other brands. Just make sure you use regular yogurt and not Greek yogurt. I have tried the cake with Greek yogurt and the results are not as tasty.
Serve this cake cold. Trust me on this one, this cake when served cold amplifies all the flavors and it’s honestly a little addicting!
