Batter:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Grease a loaf pan (30 cm/12 inches) with a little oil and dust with flour.
Blend 120 grams of strawberries in a food processor until they become a shiny puree and set aside.
Cut 100 grams of strawberries into small cubes and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: almond flour, sugar, baking soda, and sifted flour.
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: yogurt, soy drink, oil, strawberry puree, and vanilla flavor.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, stirring just enough for the ingredients to combine.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and place half of the diced strawberries. Pour the remaining batter and decorate with the remaining strawberries.
Bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Pour over the cake and serve!
- Make the coating as close to serving time as possible, as fresh strawberries spoil relatively quickly.
- Store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
