Strawberry Syrup Cake
This recipe yields one 24cm cake flavored with coconut oil, yoghurt, and fresh strawberries incorporated in both the batter and as a syrup topping. The cake is moist with a delicate crumb, and is topped with extra strawberries and served with coconut yoghurt. The included syrup, made with strawberries, sugar, water, and orange juice, is spooned over the cake while hot to add an additional layer of flavor. Recipe by advocate, Chef Tom Walton.
