Ingredients

• 275 grams all-purpose flour
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 180 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 120 milliliters milk
• 400 grams fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together 225 grams of the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk to the dry ingredients and beat until you have a smooth batter.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, toss the mixed berries with a tablespoon of the remaining flour to coat them slightly. This helps to prevent them from sinking.

Step 6

Spread the berries evenly over the batter in the cake pan.

Step 7

To make the crumble topping, combine the remaining 50 grams of flour with the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix to combine.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the berries.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the cake on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
