This pound cake is full of bright berry and lemon flavors. It's quick to assemble and will be welcome at any spring or summer party, picnic, or cookout. Use any berries, or combination of berries, you like - the fresher, the better. You can even do your winter self a favor and freeze ripe berries, then make this cake when you need a taste of summer!
Ingredients:
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 cup/ 200 g, plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup plain yogurt
3 eggs
1/2 cup neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups/ 185 g, plus 1 tablespoon, all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups/ ~180 g berries*, chopped if large
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray one 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or coat with butter and line with a parchment paper "sling". In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar with lemon zest, rubbing the zest into the sugar with your fingertips to release the lemon flavor. Stir in yogurt, eggs, oil, and salt. Sprinkle baking powder onto mixture and mix well. Add flour and stir just until no streaks of flour remain. Toss berries with 1 tablespoon of flour and gently fold into batter. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 for about 50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. While the cake bakes, combine the juice from the lemon with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Heat in a small pan or microwave until sugar dissolves. When the cake comes out of the oven, carefully pour or brush the lemon syrup onto the top of the hot cake (you can poke small holes into the top of the cake if the syrup is not absorbing well). Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. When removing cake, slide a thin spatula or knife around the edge of the pan and give it a wiggle to help the cake release cleanly.
*Frozen berries will be fine in this recipe; do not thaw them, but you may need to add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
Yield: 1 loaf cake. Double for two loaves (duh!) or one Bundt cake.
Storage: Cake keeps at room temperature for 3 days, in the refrigerator for 1 week, and freezes beautifully.
