Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 medium ripe banana (about ½ cup mashed)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp avocado or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare an 8-inch round pan. In a large bowl, mash the banana, then whisk in the yogurt, egg, oil, and vanilla.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Stir the dry mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
  4. Transfer batter to the pan, smooth the top, and bake 20 to 22 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out.
  5. Cool completely on a rack, then slice and serve.

Notes

If your strawberries are especially juicy, toss them in a teaspoon of the flour before folding them in so they don’t bleed too much color into the batter. For a celebratory touch, spread on a thin cream cheese frosting once the cake is fully cool.
