This fine yogurt and strawberry cake is a quick and delicious dessert, perfect for celebrating special moments or simply indulging after a long day. The moist texture and delicate flavor of the yogurt, combined with the sweetness of fresh strawberries, make this recipe a family favorite. Here’s how you can prepare this delicacy step by step.

Ingredients:

For the base:
- 4 eggs
- 50 ml hot water
- 100 ml oil (you can use sunflower oil or light olive oil)
- 200 g sugar
- 250 g flour
- 10 g baking powder
- A pinch of salt

For the filling:
- 300 g natural yogurt (preferably Greek for a creamier texture)
- 200 g fresh strawberries (or frozen, depending on the season)
- 50 g sugar (you can adjust to taste)

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the ingredients. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking pan with oil or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the hot water and oil, using an electric mixer or a whisk. Continue beating until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color.

3. Add the sugar and mix further until completely dissolved. Start incorporating the sifted flour, along with the baking powder and a pinch of salt, mixing with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to avoid losing air in the mixture.

4. Pour the obtained mixture into the prepared pan, leveling it to achieve an even base. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. While the base is baking, you can prepare the filling. Wash the strawberries, cut them in half, and mix them with 50 g of sugar. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juice.

6. Once the base has cooled completely, remove it from the pan and cut it into squares or slices. Place each slice on a platter and add a spoonful of yogurt on top, followed by a few pieces of caramelized strawberries. You can decorate with fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.

Practical tips:

- Use fresh strawberries, but if they are not available, frozen ones are an excellent alternative. Make sure to thaw them before use.
- You can replace strawberries with other seasonal fruits, such as raspberries, blueberries, or peaches, to vary the flavor of the cake.
- If you want a stronger flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the base mixture or a tablespoon of lemon juice to the yogurt.

This fine yogurt and strawberry cake is not just a simple dessert, but also a healthy choice, thanks to the yogurt and fresh fruits. Enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee, and savor every bite!
