Strawberry Yogurt Loaf Cake
This strawberry yogurt loaf cake is tender, moist, and loaded with juicy fresh strawberries throughout. The sour cream keeps the crumb incredibly soft and rich, while a lemon icing on top adds a bright, tangy finish that complements the fruit beautifully. A straightforward, satisfying bake that slices cleanly and tastes wonderful with afternoon tea or as a simple dessert.

Video timing: Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40–50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. The card uses the upper end of the range.
The total uses the existing preparation estimate plus the cooking and any separately listed preheat time. Allow additional cooling time and extra batches where applicable.
The video uses sour cream, matching the ingredient list, despite the recipe's yogurt title. The bake takes 40–50 minutes; cooling before icing takes additional time. The preparation field retains the existing estimate; the video confirms the specific cooking or resting stages described above.
