Print Recipe

A tender, zesty cake bursting with fresh lemon and sweet blackberries, made moist and light with Greek yogurt. Perfect for quick homemade desserts or brunch treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blackberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until fluffy and pale, about 2-3 minutes. Add Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or low mixer speed until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blackberries to keep them whole.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and yogurt for a smoother batter. Fold blackberries gently to avoid breaking them and turning the batter purple. If the cake browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Frozen berries can be used but add a few extra minutes to baking time. Toss berries in flour before folding to prevent sinking.
