Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp flour (to toss berries)
- Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Mix in the sour cream and milk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Toss the chopped strawberries and blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking. Gently fold the berries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen berries, but thaw and drain them well before using.
- For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the batter.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
