🥘Ingredients and Substitutions
- Maple syrup- we're using maple syrup as a sweetener in this cake instead of regular sugar. You can also use honey.
- Yogurt- to keep this cake nice and moist, you'll need yogurt. You can use any unsweetened dairy or non-dairy yogurt, just make sure it is a Skyr or Greek yogurt. A European-style yogurt will be too runny for this cake.
- Strawberries- fresh strawberries are needed for the cake. You can also use freeze-dried strawberries to make the frosting.
- Coconut cream- you'll need one can of chilled coconut cream for the frosting.
See the recipe card below for the remaining ingredients and quantities.
🔪Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a bundt cake pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl. In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, coconut oil and milk, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix together on medium speed until just combined. Fold the strawberries in lightly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs.
- Prepare the frosting by adding the coconut cream to a medium bowl. Beat until fluffy about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add in the maple syrup or honey and beat until combined. Fold in the crushed freeze-dried or chopped fresh strawberries.
- Frost the cake once it has fully cooled. Serve and enjoy!
💭Recipe FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries?
While I recommend fresh strawberries for this cake, you can use frozen strawberries as long as they are defrosted and drained of excess juices.
Can this cake be made ahead of time?
Yes, I actually prefer to make this cake the day before so that it has enough time to cool before being frosted. The frosting can be added just before serving.
Can I make this cake without a bundt pan?
You can make it in a regular cake pan. Just make sure to adjust the baking time and keep an eye on the cake to make sure you don't overbake it.
👩🏻🍳Baking Tips
- Room temperature ingredients. It's important to use room-temperature eggs, fat and liquids in baked goods. Room-temperature ingredients are able to bond together better and create a smoother cake batter. Cold ingredients can result in clumpy and dense baked goods. For this recipe, make sure the yogurt, eggs and milk are at room temperature (about 65-70 degrees F). Also, be sure to allow the melted coconut oil to cool before adding to the batter.
- Coconut whipped cream. Before making the frosting, chill the bowl in the fridge for about 10 minutes and then scoop the thick white cream from the can of coconut milk and whip this to make the frosting.
- Chop the strawberries into even-sized pieces. To ensure even distribution of strawberries throughout the cake, chop them into small pieces that are roughly the same size.
- Don't over-mix the batter as this can result in a very hard and dense cake.
- The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
