Ingredients
Berry Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 lemon zested
- ¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (I like to use strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
Lemon Glaze
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons milk plus more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, around 3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg until thoroughly incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and lemon juice and mix. Slowly pour in the milk while mixing.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Then add in the berries and beat for another minute until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk until smooth. Add more milk as needed until the glaze runs off your spoon. (If you prefer a vanilla glaze, leave out the lemon juice.)
- Pour lemon glaze onto the cake and let sit for 5 minutes to soak in. Serve warm or at room temperature. I like to top the cake with some more fresh berries for garnish.

Notes
- There is enough juice in 1 lemon for both the cake and glaze. Zest the lemon first, and then cut it in half for juicing.
