Ingredients
  

Cake:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup canola oil or vegetable oil
  • cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup diced strawberries 5 ounces

Glaze:

  • 2 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp mashed strawberries or less

Instructions
 

  • Let your cream cheese and butter soften to room temperature. Spray a 9" loaf pan with non stick cooking spray or Baker's Joy. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 325°.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, yogurt, eggs, and extracts.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and stir till just combined.
  • Fold in the diced strawberries. Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
  • Bake at 325° for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Turn right side up, and let cool completely before adding glaze.
  • For glaze: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, and a tablespoon of the mashed strawberries. Beat until smooth, adding more berries as needed.

Notes

  • You can also make this cake in an 8" loaf pan, it will just be taller, and may take a bit longer to bake.
  • Recipe inspired by Yellow Bliss Road.
