Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups fresh berries
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon milk
  • fresh berries and fresh mint leaves

Instruction

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray an 8x4 inch loaf pan with baking spray, line with parchment paper, and spray again. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the berries and toss with 1 tablespoon flour.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: about 3-4 minutes. Add one egg at a time and beat well between each egg. Beat in the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add about half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beat for a few seconds to start combining. Add in the sour cream and beat for a few more seconds. Add in the rest of the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
  • Fold in the berries.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • In the meantime, prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and enough milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Spread the glaze onto the cooled cake. Garnish with additional berries and mint leaves.
