Karlynn’s Recipe Notes

Skill Level: This is a reasonably simple bundt cake recipe that will be sure to impress

Total Time: This delicious cake will take approximately an hour to prepare.

Variations: Don’t have fresh strawberries on hand or prefer a different flavour? Try switching up the strawberries for a different fruit, such as blueberries or raspberries! Both complement lemon beautifully. Another totally different take, instead of fruit, is lavender, which is more herbal and fresh.

Tools For This Recipe: Although it’s not always common, you will need a bundt pan for this recipe, and trust me, it’s worth it. I also recommend using a stand mixer for this recipe, which will help mix your ingredients perfectly.

What You’ll Need For Ingredients

Lemon Zest: Lemon zest is one of the best ways to add additional lemon flavor (and color) to your cakes.

Greek Yogurt: The Greek yogurt adds just the right amount of moisture to the cake to take it to the next level.

Strawberries: Using fresh strawberries in this recipe gives you that summery feel and the natural sweetness that bursts with fresh flavour.

Various baking ingredients are arranged on a white marble surface, including eggs, flour, sugar, butter, brown sugar, vanilla, yogurt, strawberries, lemon halves, lemon juice, and small bowls of baking powder and baking soda.

Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Strawberry Bundt Cake

Do You Need Greek Yogurt? You can use either Greek yogurt or sour cream but the yogurt is the best way to enhance the cake with additional moisture.

Do I Need To Use A Bundt Pan? A bundt pan is best because of the shape of the pan and the fact that there is that hole in the middle that lets the cake develop a lot more browned and caramelized crust than just a regular cake would get.

Storage Instructions

Best served fresh, you can store this cake by wrapping it in plastic wrap or placing it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Do not store in the fridge. It is best kept in an air-tight container on the counter for up to 5 days. If you do want to freeze this cake, I recommend doing so without the glaze. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
