Ingredients

The cake

  • 3 cups spooned and leveled cake flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, room temperature
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup or 16 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup chopped strawberries
  • ¾ cup blueberries
  • ¼ cup blackberries
  • ¼ cup raspberries

Lemon glaze

  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F or 177°C. Grease a Bundt pan (about 10 - 12 cups) with nonstick spray or butter.
  • In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients, such as cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  • Grab a separate bowl and mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup of lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons of lemon zest. Set aside.
  • Beat 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of butter in an electric stand or handheld mixer with a whisk or paddle attachment on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth. Scrape down the bowl while mixing.
  • Beat in the pure vanilla extract on medium. Once incorporated, fold in 3 eggs at low speed, one at a time. Wait until each egg is completely blended before tossing in the next. Stop mixing after the last egg.
  • Dump the dry ingredients (step 2) with the butter-egg bowl. Gently pour the Greek yogurt mix on top, then beat them on medium until incorporated. Gently mix the blueberries, chopped strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries with a spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the greased pan. Bake it for around 55 to 70 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, loosely wrap aluminum foil over the pan to prevent over-baking. After 55 minutes, insert a toothpick into the cake to check its doneness. A clean toothpick means the cake is ready.
  • Take the pan out of the oven and let it cool for about 1 hour. Then, free the cake off the pan and let it rest on your serving plate or a wire rack.
  • Whisk 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Drizzle the glaze on the Bundt cake, wait a few hours for it to set, slice, and dig in!

Notes

  • You can pour the batter into two 9x5” loaf pans instead of a Bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes. Or, halve the ingredients for one loaf.
  • If using frozen berries, keep them in the freezer until mixing.
  • Cover the leftover in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the fridge for 5-6 days. Unglazed cake can be frozen for 3 months (wrap it with 2 layers of food wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil).
