Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 container white sugar (130 g)
  • ½ container sunflower oil (75 ml)
  • 1,5 container white spelt flour (130 g)
  • 1 container yogurt (150 ml)
  • 6 g baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest (grated)

Fruit

  • 100 g berries (cranberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries...)
  • 10 g bourbon vanilla sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare the cake pan in which you're going to bake the cake. Line it with parchment paper or grease it with some butter and lightly dust it with some flour. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). If you use frozen fruit, make sure you've thawed it before and drained any excess liquid.
  • Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Beat the egg yolks with sugar until pale in color. Then add orange zest, yogurt, oil, sifted flour, and baking powder. Add bourbon vanilla and cornstarch to the fruit and mix well.
  • Beat the egg whites separately until the foam is created and slowly fold it into the first mixture. Pour the batter into a cake pan and spread the fruit mixture over it. Bake it for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Serve while still warm with some creamy Greek yogurt or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Although this recipe as a measure calls for a yogurt container (150ml), I decided to weigh all the ingredients because storebought yogurts these days come in various sizes.
  • Instead of sunflower oil, you can try to experiment with olive oil, coconut oil, or any other oil that can be heated. Note that each oil has a different flavor so it's important to have that in mind if you'll be experimenting with your ingredients.
  • This cake is not overly sweet, so add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
  • Since I've baked this cake in a heart-shaped cake pan, it's hard for me to give you the exact dimensions of this mold. However, the measures in this recipe are also appropriate for one loaf pan or one springform pan with a diameter of 20 cm.
