Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups strawberries
- 2 peaches
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup melted butter
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete bottom coverage.
- Melt ¼ cup butter and pour into a large mixing bowl with 1 cup white sugar, 1 egg, ¾ cup Greek yogurt, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Whisk the wet ingredients vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and pale.
- Sift 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour with 1 tsp baking powder in a separate bowl to remove any lumps.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Select 1 cup of halved strawberries and slice 2 peaches into thin wedges.
- Fold half of the fruit into the batter, being careful not to overmix and deflate the mixture.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Artfully arrange the remaining fruit slices across the top of the batter.
- Bake for 38-42 minutes at 350°F, checking the center with a toothpick for clean insertion.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake rest in the pan for 15 minutes to stabilize its structure.
- Carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack, allowing it to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Fresh, ripe fruits make a huge difference in the cake’s flavor, so choose strawberries and peaches that are sweet and fragrant.
- When folding fruits into the batter, use a gentle hand to prevent crushing the delicate pieces and maintain their shape.
- Dusting the fruits with a bit of flour before adding them to the batter helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose baking blend to keep the cake’s tender texture.
