    Strawberry Breakfast Yogurt Cake Recipe (14)
    This cake is delicious! I used regular yogurt and it turned out great! Might have to freeze some of this so as not to eat it too quickly :-). Thanks for the recipe!

  2. Cathy Reynolds WinklerReply

    Can I make this in a different type of pan as I don’t have a springform? Just for hubby & me so it doesn’t need to have a pretty presentation.

    • Sandy

      Yes, but you may need to adjust the baking time! :)

  3. KateReply

    Looks delicious! Could you use frozen strawberries in this recipe?

  4. JoanieReply

    Could you prepare the night before?

    • Sandy

      Hi Joanie. Do you mean bake the night before? Yes. As for preparing the batter the night before, I have never tried this.

  5. CathiReply

    I saw your recipe this morning and had everything to make it, with a few modifications, and it is delicious! I only had berry Greek yogurt and sour cream, so I used both, omitted the cinnamon and added the zest of one lemon. I didn’t sugar the berries. SO GOOD! Thanks for the recipe.

  6. KelleyReply

    I used 1/2 the amount of butter and Trader Joe’s brand white-wheat flour and it came out delicious. I needed to cook longer because the strawberries released so much liquid so I might try and cut the strawberries to 1 1/2 cups next time.

    • Sandy

      Thanks Kelly!

  7. Ronni willisReply

    Could i yyse sour cream in place of yogurt?

    • Sandy

      Yes! :)

  8. Dorothy @ Crazy for CrustReply

    I’m all in for cake for breakfast!!

  9. JCEReply

    I definitely will have to make this recipe. Will it only work in a springform pan? or is that just the best option?

    • Sandy

      I have not tried it in any other pans. Use parchment paper for sure, and most likely the cooking time may change a bit. Come back and tell me how it turns out! :)

  10. Kirstin TroyerReply

    That looks yummy! Pinning it now. So true about pushing ourselves to do something different each day, something that pulls us out of the dreary weather that can bring on dreary moods. :/

    Love that springform pan too!
