      • Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour an 8 or 9 inch (20-22 cm) round cake pan.
      • In medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
      • In the mixing bowl on medium speed beat the butter and sugar until creamy, approximately 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine.
      • Add the dry ingredients alternately with the yogurt and milk on low speed 1-2 minutes until smooth. Gently fold in the strawberries. (the batter will be thick)
      • Add the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in pan then move to a wire rack to cool completely before drizzling with the glaze. Top with fresh strawberries before serving. Enjoy!

      STRAWBERRY GLAZE

      • In a medium bowl add the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla, cream and puree, whisk together until smooth. If it is too thick then add more cream or puree, too thin then more powdered sugar.

      Notes

      For room temperature remove the ingredients from the fridge 30-45 minutes before using.
      To make homemade cake flour, for every cup of all purpose flour remove 2 tablespoons and substitute with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, sift together to remove any lumps.
