ingredients

– All-purpose flour – Baking powder – Baking soda – Plain Greek yogurt – Caster sugar – Vanilla extract – Strawberries, diced – Sugar – Mascarpone cheese

step 1

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, oil, vanilla extract, and sugar.

step 2

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and combine till you have a smooth and soft-dropping consistency batter.

step 3

Transfer the batter to the pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake.

step 4

Combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and water. Cook till the berries soften and the juices start running. Cool completely and puree until smooth.

step 5

Poke holes in the still slightly warm cake in intervals of an inch, going only 2/3rd of the way.

step 6

Spoon the cool strawberry syrup onto the cake. Let the cake rest for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight.

step 7

Top the chilled cake with mascarpone cheese frosting. Sprinkle some golden ball sprinkles, cut into squares, and serve.
