Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
3 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 tablespoon lemon zest
-
½ cup vegetable oil
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
⅔ cup sour cream
-
⅔ cup fresh Berry Much blueberries
-
⅔ cup fresh Berry Much strawberries, chopped
Directions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt until evenly combined
: Add the blueberries and strawberries to the dry mixture, stirring gently to coat them. This helps prevent the berries from sinking during baking
Add the vegetable oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined, ensuring no visible flour lumps remain
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle additional berries on top for decoration
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully remove it and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
