Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (150 g) white granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (75 g) almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh mulberries, halved if large
- 2 tablespoons (15 g) all-purpose flour (for coating berries)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth and slightly pale.
- Add the vegetable oil and whisk until fully combined.
- Sift in the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix gently until a smooth batter forms, avoiding overmixing.
- In a separate bowl, toss the mulberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sinking.
- Fold the coated mulberries into the batter evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe mulberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
- Coating the berries with flour prevents them from sinking.
- You can substitute mulberries with blueberries or raspberries.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer storage.
