Fruit and Almond Cake
A simple Fruit and Almond Cake recipe that's laden with fresh berries and topped with sliced almonds for even more texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain full-fat yogurt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup canola oil, or vegetable oil
- 3 cups berries or sliced fruit of choice, or a combination
- ½ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350℉
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, sugar, and eggs, stirring and whisking until well blended. Add the flour, salt, ground cinnamon, baking powder, lemon zest, and vanilla, mixing to just combine. Add the oil and stir well to incorporate. Keep stirring until it forms a smooth batter. Gently stir in the fruit. Pour and scrape the batter into a buttered 9-inch round cake pan. Scatter the sliced almonds evenly across the top of the cake.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cake feels springy to the touch and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake.
- Cool cake on a rack for about 20 minutes; then turn it out of the pan to cool completely.
