• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt

Strawberry syrup for cake

• 2 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen, diced
• 2 tsp water
• 2 tsp sugar

Wet ingredients for cake

• 1/3 cup Greek Yogurt
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk

Frosting and strawberry garnish

• 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Mix and bake the cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two cake pans.
2. Combine the ingredients for the strawberry flavoring syrup in a small pan. Bring them to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the stove and allow them to cool.
3. Combine the dry ingredients for the cake in one bowl with a whisk.
4. Mix the wet ingredients for the cake in a large mixing bowl. Add the strawberry flavoring syrup and then the dry ingredients. Mix well but do not over-mix.
5. Pour the batter into the 2 round greased cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the cake springs back to the touch or a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool on a rack before frosting.

Frosting and garnishing the cake

1. Mix the butter and powdered sugar together with a hand beater or mixing machine. Add the vanilla. Whip until it is soft and creamy.
2. Place a thin layer of frosting on the center of the cake with a few of the berries.
3. Place the 2nd layer of cake on top and add the rest of the frosting. Spread smooth.
4. Top with berries.
5. Serve immediately or refrigerate to serve later.
