Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour Essential for the cake's structure and texture.
  • 1 cup sugar Adds sweetness and contributes to browning.
  • 1/2 cup butter Ensure it's softened to cream easily with sugar.
  • 3/4 cup milk Provides moisture and enriches the batter.
  • 2 large eggs Bind the ingredients and add richness to the cake.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder A key leavening agent for a light and fluffy texture.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the overall aroma and flavor of the bake.
  • 1 cup fresh berries Use a mix or single type of your favorite seasonal berries.

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Baking Pan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined after each addition.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh berries, being careful not to crush them, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it's fully cooked.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This ensures it sets properly.

Notes

This recipe is versatile; feel free to experiment with other fruits like chopped apples or peaches when berries are not in season. A dusting of powdered sugar before serving adds a nice touch.
