STRAWBERRY CAKE

Who avoid to eat the cakes??especially kids right?? Usually with strawberries I prepare milk shakes or smoothies. But this is the first time I tried a cake using fresh berries with yogurt addition.When I thought to bake a cake with strawberries i was quite curious about the result  but surprisingly cake came out so fluffy and soft. Depending on the sugar addition cake sweetness is depended so add 1/2 cup more if you want too sweet..

There are different methods are there in baking straw berry cake. Few likes to add fresh puree and few may prefers to add the fruits on the top of the cake batter before baking..I added in this puree and as well as some chunks too..Its depends on your taste. So,try this version and enjoy.
