Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F), or 180°C (350°F) if using a fan-forced oven.

Grease a 23 cm (9-inch) cake pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.

Prepare the strawberries: Dice about 1/3 of the berries (roughly 1 cup) into 1.5 cm pieces to mix inside the cake. Cut the remaining strawberries in half to use as a decorative topping.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: sugar, oil, eggs, grated lemon rind, lemon juice, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk well for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth.

Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) to the wet mixture. Whisk until just combined and the batter is lump-free.
