Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Lower the mixer speed and alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients, starting with the dry and ending with the milk. Mix until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries using a spatula, being careful not to crush the berries.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
