Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, custard powder, powdered sugar, and baking powder. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugar

  • In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter (or oil) and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Wet Ingredients

  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in Strawberries

  • Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

Bake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Glaze

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Drizzle and Garnish

  • Once cooled, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Garnish with fresh strawberries and lemon wedges.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Lemon Yogurt Berry Cake

  • For a more intense lemon flavor, use the zest and juice of two lemons.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
  • For a richer cake, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing to prevent the chocolate from melting.
