Freshly milled spelt flour adds extra flavor and nutrition to the dough. Combined with Greek yogurt, it creates a soft, moist texture – and the strawberries make it the highlight of the season.
Ingredients for a 9-inch round pan:
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (about 2 cups halved)
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- 2¼ cups freshly milled spelt flour (e.g. milled at home with the Salzburg grain mill)
- 2 level tsp baking powder
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 355 °F (convection) or 390 °F (top/bottom heat). Line a 9-inch round pan with parchment and lightly grease the edges.
- Cream the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly for at least 10 minutes.
- Stir in Greek yogurt. Mix the baking powder into the flour and fold into the batter.
- Pour into the pan. Halve the strawberries and place cut-side up on the batter.
