Very Berry lemon cake – Recipe

Ingredients :

  • 3 cups (354g) all purpose flour (Sifted & leveled)
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature*
  • 1.5 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 cups (325g) mixed berries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw)* – I used Frozen berries

Recipe:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Generously grease & dust a 10-12 cup Bundt Pan with butter or nonstick spray.
  • Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk the greek yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. On medium speed, beat in the vanilla extract. On low speed, beat the eggs in 1 at a time allowing each to fully mix in before adding the next. After the 3rd egg is added, be careful not to over-mix. Stop the mixer once all eggs are incorporated.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the butter/eggs. Pour the yogurt mixture on top. Turn the mixer onto medium speed and beat everything together *just* until combined. Do not over-mix. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the berries. The batter will be a little thick and very creamy.
  • Pour/spoon batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 55-70 minutes. Loosely tent the baking cake with aluminum foil halfway through bake time to ensure the surface does not over-brown (this is optional and I didn’t do this). Use a toothpick to test the cook and begin checking at 55 minutes. Once the toothpick comes out completely clean, the cake is done. This is a large cake so don’t be alarmed if it takes longer in your oven.
  • Remove cake from the oven and allow to cool for 1 hour inside the pan. Then invert the slightly cooled cake onto a wire rack or serving dish.
  • Allow to cool completely. You can sift some powdered sugar on the cake for a beautiful snowy look before serving.
  • Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

This recipe was inspired by Sally’s baking & I made a few adjustments that I have incorporated above.
