Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cake

Talk of being lazy.  I have not updated my baking on the blog for ages.  For one reason or the other the pics have been saved on my phone but not uploaded.  So here I am writing these out ---- before I get lazy again  






This is a great recipe if you are like me and buy strawberries in bulk.  Because the strawberries make this moist you will need to refrigerate it.  It tastes equally good cold.  You could make this with any fruit 

Ingredients


  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp butter, softned
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • chocolate chips - as much or little as you want.
  • Strawberries, washed and halved


Method

  • Line a 9" loose bottom or springform tin with butter paper,  Grease the sides and dust with flour
  • Preheat the oven to 180C
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt 
  • Beat the sugar and butter in a separate bowl till light and fluffy
  • Add in the yogurt beating till fully mixed
  • Add in the egg and vanilla and beat again.
  • Mix in the milk.
  • Fold in the flour, carefully making sure not to overmix
  • Fold in half the choco chips keeping some for the top
  • Pour into prepared cake tin and arrange the strawberries on top.
  • Sprinkle balance choco chips between the strawberries.
  • Bake the cake for 45 mins or till done.
  • Remove from oven and let cool in the cake tin.
  • Remove from tin once cooled.
