• Preparation: 15 minutes
• Cooking: 40 minutes
• Total: 55 minutes
• Servings: 12 slices
• Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
• 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt natural or strawberry (125 grams)
• 1 1/3 cup all-purpose wheat flour (170 grams)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (8 grams)
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (1.5 grams)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil, preferably sunflower (90 ml)
• 1/2 pound fresh strawberries (200 grams)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil for greasing (5 ml)
• Powdered sugar for decorating (optional)

If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can replace it with plain unsweetened yogurt, but the result will be less creamy.

Utensils we will use

• Large mixing bowl
• Electric hand mixer or manual whisk
• Sieve or fine-mesh strainer for flour
• Silicone spatula
• 20 cm (8 inch) round pan, can be non-stick or aluminum
• Brush for greasing the pan
• Knife and cutting board for slicing strawberries

Preparation

1. Beat the eggs with sugar and yogurt

1. Prepare the liquid mixture. Break the eggs into a large bowl.
2. Add sugar and yogurt. Incorporate the granulated sugar and Greek yogurt.
3. Beat until creamy. Use the electric mixer at medium speed to mix for 2 minutes until the mixture is light and creamy. If using a manual whisk, beat vigorously to incorporate air and achieve that texture.

2. Incorporate the dry ingredients and oil

1. Sift the flour. Pass the flour through the sieve directly over the mixture to avoid lumps.
2. Add baking powder and salt. Incorporate the baking powder and sea salt.
3. Pour the sunflower oil. Add the oil and beat with the mixer at low speed until a homogeneous and creamy batter is obtained, for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Prepare and add the strawberries

1. Wash and dry the strawberries. It is important to remove excess water so that the batter does not become too wet.
2. Remove the green leaves and cut. Cut the strawberries into quarters or small cubes, depending on how you prefer to feel them in the cake.
3. Incorporate the strawberries into the mixture. With a spatula, fold them in gently so as not to crush the strawberries and to distribute them evenly.

4. Prepare the mold and bake

1. Line the mold with parchment paper. This facilitates unmolding and helps keep the cake in perfect shape.
2. Grease the edges. Use the brush to apply olive oil and thus prevent the batter from sticking.
3. Pour the mixture into the mold. Distribute evenly for even baking.
4. Bake. Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (355°F) with bake + grill option (or top and bottom heat). Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
5. Let it rest. Once out of the oven, let the kekos cool on a wire rack so that the base doesn't get soggy.

5. To finish and serve

When the kekos is at room temperature, carefully unmold it. You can sprinkle powdered sugar for those SweetTemptation visual and flavor. Serve with tea, coffee or a hot chocolate for that SweetSnack that everyone will enjoy. You can also try it with a little whipped cream or natural yogurt to vary the experience.

I want to share these tips with you

• Use fresh, firm strawberries: This prevents the dough from getting too wet and ensures a MagicStrawberry.
• Do not overmix the batter: Over-beating can activate the gluten and harden the kekos.
• Oil is important: Preferably use sunflower oil, because it doesn't alter the flavor, but you can use mild olive oil for a more aromatic touch.
• Monitor oven temperature: It's key for the cake to rise and be fluffy; if your oven doesn't have both heat sources, just adjust the time by checking with a toothpick.
• If you're short on strawberries: You can use other fruits like blueberries or pineapple, but reduce the moisture a bit with absorbent paper before mixing them.

5 keys for your strawberry kekos to be perfect

• Key 1: Aerated initial batter. Beating the eggs well with sugar and yogurt introduces air and provides fluffiness.
• Key 2: Sift flour. This way we avoid lumps and increase the lightness of the cake.
• Key 3: Gently incorporate strawberries. Avoid breaking them to ensure texture and juiciness.
• Key 4: Consistent baking temperature and time. Keep the oven preheated and do not open the door to prevent the cake from sinking.
• Key 5: Let cool before unmolding. Heat can cause it to break, a good rest ensures a better presentation.

When is it ideal to enjoy it?

This strawberry cake is perfect to accompany breakfast or a snack, ideal for those spring and summer days when strawberries are at their best and sweetest. It is also a sweet and light option to celebrate family gatherings or be the star dessert at a summer picnic. Its soft texture and natural flavor captivate both children and adults.
