Strawberry Greek Yogurt Cake

We love the idea of quick desserts that taste like they’ve been in the works all day.

This Greek Yogurt Cake is so simple and moist. Top this with the delicious homemade frosting and you’ve got yourself a dessert that is sure to please even the toughest critic.

It comes together in a matter of minutes, and is more healthy than most other cakes.

It has the best flavor and texture, and is the perfect cake for spring or summer (or any time of year really).

You could serve it for breakfast or serve it as dessert. Either way, I don’t think anyone will be complaining when you serve it. It is so delicious.

could i use milk for the glaze instead?

This glaze recipe is to die for. It is so thick and creamy, it could almost be a frosting.

The recipe calls for heavy whipping cream, to make it a more thick consistency. We prefer to use the heavy whipping creamy for the thicker flavor, and the moistness, it gives the cake.

However, milk would work just as well. The glaze will be a little more thin, but it would still taste delicious and work great.

does this cake freeze well?

This cake is best when eaten the same day, or within a day or two of making.

However, if you do have leftovers that you want to save, you could definitely freeze it.

We recommend placing it in an airtight container, and freezing it for up to a month. After that, the cake (and especially the glaze) will start to be effected and thaw a little funny.
