Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar can use 3/4 cup if you want to reduce some of the sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg or 1 flax egg for vegan
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour, like Bob's Red Mill
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or 1/3 cup milk of choice- dairy-free for vegan option
- ¾ cup whole raspberries
- ¾ cup whole blackberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray an 8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt together.
- In a large bowl, using a mixer, add the butter and sugar and beat it until well-combined and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture and continue beating until smooth.
- Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix together, followed by the ⅓ of the milk, mixing. Repeat ⅓ of each until you run out of flour and milk. Beat until well-combined. Fold in some of the raspberries and blackberries just until they are well distributed (about 4-5 folds) without over-mixing. The batter will be very thick.
- Spread the cake batter into your prepared baking dish. Add some extra raspberries and blackberries on top and then sprinkle 3 tablespoons of sugar on top! It gives it a nice crunchy texture!
- Bake the mixed berry cake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the cake sit for 30 minutes before taking it out of the pan, if you want to serve it warm. Otherwise, you can let it cool in the pan, if you want it to cool completely. If you have any extra, put it in the fridge to keep it fresh.
