Ingredients

Whipped Cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. If you are using bread pans, line with parchment paper so you can lift the cake out to slice. Generously spray with vegetable spray, especially if using cake pans.
  • Sift together the Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip the Egg Yolks with an electric mixer on medium speed until bright yellow and creamy, 3-4 minutes.
  • Slowly add Sugar while beating on medium speed, until fully incorporated. Add the Flour mixture to the Egg mixture and beat until well incorporated.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the Milk, Greek Yogurt, and Butter until about 110°F, or the butter has just begun to melt.
  • Add Milk mixture to the Flour-Egg mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the two cake pans, divided equally. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when touched.
  • Remove from oven when done, and place on cooling rack.
  • Allow to cool completely.
  • Rinse and dry Strawberries. Set aside 6 berries. Slice the remaining berries and place in
  • small bowl. Add Sugar and stir. Set aside.
  • Slice 6 Strawberries in half. Set aside.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl beat Cream and Sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Slice cake as desired, and place in a layer on plate. Generously cover cake layer with sliced Strawberries. Cover Strawberry layer with Whipped Cream. Cover whipped cream with halved Strawberries.
  • Garnish as desired and serve. Enjoy!
