Strawberry Yogurt Pound Cake
Strawberry pound cake meets strawberry yogurt cake with this tasty recipe.
The Greek yogurt combines with bits of fresh strawberries to give this homemade strawberry pound cake it’s moist texture and delicious flavor.
If you love strawberries, you are going to love this pound cake.
Perfect for Dessert or Breakfast
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for a delicious dessert. I especially love to serve this sweet treat up as a Mother’s Day dessert.
Or, enjoy a slice in the morning with some fresh berries and a cup of tea
Either way, you are going to love this easy strawberry cake recipe.
Next time I make this strawberry pound cake I think I will add about 1/4 cup white chocolate chips to the batter. White chocolate compliments strawberry so well, I think it would truly be amazing.
But, hey, if one of you wants to try adding some white chocolate chips before then, go for it. Then, be sure to come back and let us know how it comes out.
Have extra strawberries? Make a batch of these homemade strawberry muffins, strawberry scones, or mini strawberry trifles as well — you will not be disappointed!

Can I use yogurt instead of Greek yogurt? And use vanilla extract to substitute almond extract ?
Yes & yes! The flavor and consistency will differ a little but it will still be delicious!
I had a bunch of Chobani Strawberry Fruit on the Bottom yogurt. I subbed that for the yogurt in the recipe, cut the sugar to 3/4 cup, and subbed out 1/4 cup of oil for 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. It was delicious! I didn’t do the glaze, instead served like a strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. A great end to a summer meal!
So glad that you enjoyed it Amy! And thank you for letting us know that those subs all work out well– I am sure others who want to make the recipe will appreciate the info as well 🙂
I usually have vanilla Greek yogurt. Can I use that instead? What adjustments should be made. Thank you.
Sure, you can use vanilla greek yogurt. I would also cut the vanilla extract to 1 tsp.
I made this using peaches and I used peach greek yogurt. Was really good!!!!
can I use strawberry yogurt instead of fresh strawberries n plain yogurt
You can use strawberry yogurt instead of plain but I would also add the fresh strawberries
could I use thawed frozen strawberries?
Yes, that shouldn’t be a problem. Just make to thaw and dry them before adding to the batter.
hi Jackie, can this be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze this strawberry cake!
I made this recipe, using monk fruit sugar. I made it is a large pan and in smaller one. Either one of them was done. After more than 90 mins in the oven and burning on top ( put tin foil on top) it was done half way through. Not sure what the problem was, but will never make or recommend this recipe.
