French Yogurt Cake
French Yogurt Cake combines a bright, tangy batter based on plain Greek yogurt with fresh berries lightly coated in lemon juice and sugar. The texture is moist and tender with a delicate crumb, and the fruit adds fresh bursts of flavor and color. It's baked until golden and dusted with powdered sugar, resulting in a lightly sweet dessert that showcases the balance between yogurt's creaminess and the berries' tartness.

Ingredients
Berries
- 4 oz (120g) blackberry
- 4 oz (120g) raspberry
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- powdered sugar for dusting
Cake Batter
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 large egg
- 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. Stir gently to lightly coat the berries without mashing 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 have a thick, shiny batter.
- 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 and mound the berries on top.
- Cut the cake into slices and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
