This recipe turned out just how I had hoped! Nice crumbly texture. I replaced the strawberries with fresh raspberries.
Alesha says
I made this gorgeous cake today and it was devine. I replaced the strawberries with frozen raspberries as that is what I had in my freezer to use up. It was perfect, very dense and the whole cake was gobbled up by family. Thank you for a fabulous recipe!

This loaf is divine! Thank you for sharing the recipe. Could I use this recipe to make cupcake/muffin size cakes? Would I just need to reduce the cooking time?
Thank you!

Thanks heaps for all these great recipes and tips. I am very new to this mean machine and can't wait to use it more. Especially meals in the Verona. I have a question in regards to this recipe. Could I use thickened cream instead of Greek yogurt?
