Ingredients

Berries

  • 4 oz (120g) blackberries
  • 4 oz (120g) raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Cake Batter

  • 3/4 cup Greek plain yogurt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine the blackberries, raspberries, lemon juice and sugar in a medium bowl and stir gently, so as not to mash up the berries but just lightly coat them. Cover and place in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir just until combined. Using a spatula, fold in the oil until you’re left with a batter that’s thick and shiny.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
  • To serve the cake, lightly dust the top with powdered sugar, mound the berries at the top of the cake.
  • Cut the cake into slices and serve with whipped cream (optional).
