Ingredients
 

Cake

  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup full-fat plain or vanilla greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted salted butter slightly cooled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries divided

Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter or spray with non-stick spray an 9.25"x5.25" loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together milk, yogurt, sugar, butter, lemon juice and zest, vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold ⅔ cup of the chopped strawberries into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Scatter the remaining strawberries along the middle on top.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. 
  • Remove from the oven and allow the pound cake to rest 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest until well combined. If needed, add more lemon juice or milk to thin or add more powdered sugar to thicken to your desired consistency.
  • Once the cake has completely cooled, pour the glaze over on top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Serve slices with fresh whipped cream, if desired.
