Instructions
Creating Lemon Berry Cake is straightforward when you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Incorporate Yogurt and Zest: Mix in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
7. Fold in Berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in their pans for about 15 minutes. Then, gently transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
11. Frost (Optional): Once the cakes are cool, you can frost them with your favorite icing or whipped cream if desired.
