Ultimate Strawberry Almond Coffee Cake Recipe - Irresistibly Delicious and Guilt-Free Treat!

Ingredients

• 1 cup of ripe strawberries
• 3 tbsp of rich brown sugar
• 1 ½ cups of versatile all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup of deep brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon of rising baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
• A pinch of salt
• ½ cup of creamy vanilla honey yogurt
• 3 tbsp of melted butter
• 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
• 1 fresh egg
• 2 tbsp of milk
• ¼ cup of finely chopped almonds

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and preparing an 8-inch round cake pan with a touch of grease and flour for a smooth release later on.

Step 2

In a bowl, toss juicy strawberries with a delightful 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, allowing the flavors to mingle and develop.

Step 3

In a separate, spacious bowl, combine flour, a generous 1/3 cup of brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk together creamy yogurt, melted butter, fragrant vanilla extract, and a single egg. Gently fold the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients, alternating with milk until just combined - be careful not to overmix. Pour 2/3 of this luscious batter into your prepared pan, then layer the sweet strawberry mixture evenly over it. Top with the remaining batter and a sprinkling of crunchy almonds.

Step 4

Slide your creation into the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean, around 40 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before running a knife along the edges and gracefully transferring it to a beautiful serving platter.
