Instructions
- 1 Place strawberries, 4 ½ teaspoons sugar, and 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice in a nonreactive pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Mash strawberries into smaller pieces with the back of a wooden spoon. Cool filling to room temperature.
- 2 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt).
- 3 Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until well combined.
- 4 Beat 1 ½ cups sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lime zest, ¼ cup lime juice, and vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with yogurt, beating batter briefly after each addition until just combined. Gently fold in mint until incorporated.
- 5 Pour ⅓ batter into the prepared pan; carefully spoon cooled filling over batter, keeping it away from the sides and center tube of the pan. Carefully spoon remaining ⅔ batter over filling; smooth top.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen; invert carefully onto a serving plate or wire rack. Cool completely.
