Lemon Berry Cake

I know I haven’t posted in ages and ages, but I assure you that I haven’t lost my interest in food blogging. School this term was very busy. However, I have to share two delicious recipes for a berry lemon cake. The obsession started last August when I wanted to make a birthday cake that combined berry and lemons-two things that epitomize summer in my head. At that point, I used Smitten Kitchen’s Lemon Yogurt Anything Cake and added raspberries.

This weekend, I wanted to make another birthday cake with blueberries and lemons. I found a recipe on TasteSpotting on this blog, and added blueberries.

Both cakes were absolutely delicious (I think the addition of yogurt in both is key!) and it’s very hard to determine which was better. However, the version I made this past weekend was more simple to make. For both, use discretion when soaking the cake in the lemon-sugar glaze. I definitely would have had a soggy mess of a cake had I used all of the glaze I made! I highly recommend either recipe for a weekend brunch or a birthday.

It sank in the middle when it was cooling because I didn’t have a large enough pan. The very gooey piece in the middle was equally delicious in my opinion.
