‘Tis the season for berries and what better time to make this delicious mixed berry yogurt cake. The flavor of this cake reminds me of a shortcake topped with fresh berries and whipped cream. With tea or coffee I enjoy it plain, and sometimes with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
What’s in the Mixed Berry Yogurt Cake
Shaving the zest of a lemon with a microplane and the vanilla together brings out the sweetness of the fresh berries here. Next, the fresh raspberries, strawberries and blueberries make it an attractive spring or summer cake. Then, what makes the cake moist is adding the creamy butter and vanilla yogurt.
Making the cake is so simple and easy. Before you start, take the eggs, yogurt, berries, butter and eggs out of the fridge. Leave it on the counter until it comes to room temperature. All it takes is mixing the ingredients and baking it.
So I hope you try baking this cake. It’s the perfect dessert for spring and summer.[amazon_link asins=’B01N5DC5XS,B00GY6M9NK’ template=’ProductGrid’ store=’justsavorit-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’24df4bfc-69de-11e8-876a-ef7277a50ee4′]
