Easy Berry Cake
Easy Berry Cake blends whole wheat pastry flour, almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and mixed berries to create a moist, tender cake with a hint of cinnamon. The berries incorporated inside and on top give bursts of juicy sweetness, while the cake maintains a soft crumb and lightly golden crust suitable for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond milk at room temperature, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour + 1 teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large egg at room temperature
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt full-fat
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups Berry a combo of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, divided, fresh or frozen
- powdered sugar for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray a 9” springform pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl and let curdle for 5-10 minutes. Set aside.
- Stir together 1 ½ cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
- In a separate large mixing bowl whisk eggs then add maple syrup, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Add almond milk mixture and whisk again until combined.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
- In the same bowl used to mix the dry ingredients, toss 1 ½ cup of berries with 1 teaspoon flour.
- Add the berries to the batter and gently fold in.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and top with additional ½ cup berries.
- Bake for 30-35 min, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and top is golden brown.
- Let cake cool for 5-10 minutes, then run a butter knife along the edges of the springform pan to release the cake from the pan. Remove the cake and let cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best moisture; 2% yogurt can work but non-fat is not recommended.
- To store, keep the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or refrigerate up to a week.
- Freeze individual slices for up to three months and thaw before serving.
