The 5-minute yogurt cake with strawberries and chocolate chips is a delicious and simple dessert perfect for the whole family’s breakfast. The recipe is very easy, like all the variants of my 5-minute cakes it does not require the use of electric mixers, just mix the liquids with the powders and in a few minutes you will have the dough ready for the oven.
When I have little time but do not want to give up the pleasure of a good homemade cake, I create a new variant, there are many on the blog; from the simplest like the 5-minute ricotta cake to the most delicious like the 5-minute hazelnut and chocolate cake.
Today I chose to enrich my Greek yogurt base with strawberries and chocolate, two ingredients that go very well together; just pay attention to the ripeness of the strawberries, it’s important that they are not too ripe otherwise they will all slide to the bottom. Strawberries are a fruit rich in water, I recommend using firm and sweet fruits to get a perfect result.

In the other bowl, sift the flour and potato starch with the baking powder.

Advice
Storage
The 5-minute yogurt cake with strawberries and chocolate chips can be stored at room temperature for two or three days, keep it in the appropriate cake holder.
If the external temperature is high, I recommend storing it in the refrigerator and bringing it to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving, or slightly heating the portion you need in the microwave.
