For the cake:

1 Cup white sugar
1 Cup brown sugar
4 Eggs
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
2 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 Teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon salt

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 392°F (200°C). Grease and flour the pan of your choice.
In a large bowl, sift together 2 1/4 cups flour, the baking soda and salt. Mix in the lemon zest and set aside.
In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the vanilla, eggs one at a time, and then add a tablespoon of lemon juice. Alternate the flour mixture and yogurt, mixing until incorporated.
Toss the strawberries with the remaining 1/4 cup flour. Gently mix them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove and allow to cool.

For garnish:

Heat the cream in a saucepan or in the microwave and pour it over the chopped chocolate, mix well to melt the chocolate with the heat of the cream and integrate, let stand at room temperature.
Spread the ganache over the cake and decorate with whole strawberries as desired. Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes.
