How to Make Madzoonov Gargantag Armenian Yoghurt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 23cm springform pan.

  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 100ml lemon juice and the zest of 1 large lemon.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 250g all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking soda.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.

  10. Once cooled, decorate with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
