Ingredients

  • 2 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200 g) plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) light tasting oil, such as light olive oil, vegetable, or canola
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 lb (16 oz | 450 g) strawberries, hulled and chopped into small pieces
  • Powdered sugar to dust the top (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F (180º C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix the buttermilk, sugar, yogurt, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 -3 minutes.
  • Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients mixture, 1/3 at a time, letting the flour incorporate with each addition, and continue mixing just until just combined. Please do not overmix. Foil in the chopped strawberries, saving a few strawberries (about a cup) to decorate the top of the cake.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan and arrange saved strawberries on top, if desired.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes (depending on your oven) or until it's golden brown and firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cake rest in pan for 15-20 min, then remove the ring and cool to room temperature.
  • Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve.

Notes

 
Do you want a strawberry cake without pieces of fresh strawberries? Check out my Homemade Eggless Strawberry Bundt Cake recipe. 
Store: This cake stays fresh covered tightly at room temperature for up to 5 days. If your kitchen is too hot I recommend storing it in the refrigerator. 
Freeze: This cake freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before serving.
Strawberries: I recommend fresh strawberries, but it's possible to make this cake with frozen strawberries. Before adding them to the batter, make sure to thaw, drain well, and blot them dry with a paper towel to remove the extra water.
Extra Tips:
  • Use bright red ripe strawberries for maximum flavor.
  • Cut strawberries into small pieces so they won’t sink to the bottom of the bread. I also like to toss the strawberry pieces into a little flour (1-2 tablespoons) to prevent sinkage as well.
  • I recommend using a 9-inch springform pan because it makes it super easy to pop the cake out for slicing.
