FRESH STRAWBERRY SHEET CAKE

This is a very forgiving cake, it’s made in a 9×13-inch cake pan so no worries trying to stack and frost it. It’s a great way to showcase fresh strawberries. I don’t recommend frozen berries for this cake they can be too watery. Finally, on my list of why this is a great dessert that you should make asap, it goes with any meal. Any meal and every meal! 😄 It’s not overly sweet and everyone loves it.

I chose not to frost my cake, but you can if you want it a little sweeter. I would use this Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.

WHY USE YOGURT IN CAKES?

Yogurt does a few things in cakes. Greek yogurt is naturally acidic and reacts with baking soda to help cakes rise. As well, yogurt adds a nice tang and balances the sweetness of cakes. Finally, yogurt makes cakes tender and moist.

I used Greek yogurt in this strawberry sheet cake. However, you can use plain or vanilla yogurt, sour cream, or buttermilk.

FRESH STRAWBERRY SHEET CAKE TIPS

First, one of the most important tips is to coat the cut strawberries in 1/4 cup of flour. this prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake. 

Measure the strawberries after you cut them. You’ll need about 12 ounces of strawberries. Typically, I get 16 ounces and use the extra for garnish. As well, I cut them into rather small cubes.

I don’t recommend frozen strawberries they release too much water for this cake. It’s very moist anyway.

This cake isn’t overly sweet. Therefore, it makes a great cake with coffee for brunch.

If you want to change the flavor, you can use 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and omit the lemon.

Also, I’ve made this cake using peaches and blueberries and they both turned out wonderful!

HOW DO I STORE STRAWBERRY SHEET CAKE?

Because this cake is so moist, store it in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. It also freezes well for up to 2 months. Wrap in plastic wrap and a ziptop freezer bag. Don’t forget to date it!
