1/2 c. vegetable oil

How to make Strawberry Pound Cake
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using nonstick cooking spray, grease an 8 or 9-inch loaf pan, and set aside.
Step 2: Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well until combined.
Step 3: Combine the Greek yoghurt, sugar, eggs, extract, and oil in a large mixing bowl until mixed. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just blended. Then, fold in the strawberries.
Step 4: Into the prepared pan, pour the batter. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes or until the center of the cake is set. Take the cake out of the oven when done and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack to cool fully.
Step 5: In the meantime, whisk the smashed strawberries and powdered sugar in a medium-sized bowl to make the glaze. Over the cooled cake, pour the glaze and allow it to set.
Step 6: Slice and serve. Enjoy!
