Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries and blackberries for topping)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour and Bake:
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Garnish:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, place the cake on a serving plate and top with mixed berries.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
- Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Berry Options: Feel free to use any combination of berries you like or that are in season.
- Presentation: Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch before serving.
