Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon (10 grams) to toss the berries
  • 2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (230 g) plain whole-milk yogurt or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup plus (200 g) sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (approximately 2 lemons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (or light olive oil, or coconut oil)
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 250 g) mixed berries, fresh or frozen
  • a scant 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 by 6 inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper going up the sides so it will be easier to lift out.
  • Sift together 1 and 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla, and oil. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Mix the berries with the remaining tablespoon of flour, and, with a spatula, fold them very gently into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • For the icing: whisk the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with the cup of powdered sugar. Adjust if too thick or too runny. Set aside.
  • When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before placing it on a rack over a sheet pan. Let cool.
  • With a small whisk, or fork, drizzle the icing on the top of the loaf .
