2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup Greek yogurt (or Kefir, or buttermilk)
1 ½ cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp butter (for the glaze)
Preheat the Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-cup bundt pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients & Yogurt: Gradually add the dry mixture and Greek yogurt (or Kefir/buttermilk) alternately to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
Prepare Berries: Toss mixed berries in a small amount of flour to prevent sinking in the batter.
Fold in Berries: Gently fold the berries into the batter.
Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 40 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and butter until smooth and thick.
Glaze the Cake: Once cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the cake.
To prevent berries from sinking, toss them in a small amount of flour before folding them into the batter.
If using frozen berries, there's no need to thaw them—just ensure they are not clumped together.
For a citrus twist, you can add orange zest to the batter.
You can substitute Greek yogurt with buttermilk or Kefir.
