Bumbleberry Cake

Bumbleberry Cake – from Anna Olson

Pane-Bistecca

A sponge cake is usually baked with dry ingredients, i.e. dried fruit or chocolate and nuts. But you can also add berries, as Anna Olson has done here with her bumbleberry cake.

I have also made cakes with berries, here is the Physalis Cake and the Berry Cake.

This time it had to be a big cake and so I chose a recipe from my favorite baker. Anna Olson is simply great, her shows are simple and easy to understand, without any big frills. That’s how I love it!
But I’ve changed the recipe a bit, that’s how I usually make it so that it suits me. Anna Olson says Bumbleberry can be anything, your favorite berries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix of everything.

Ingredients

For a large Bundt Cake

175 g soft Butter
350 g Sugar (Anna took 400 g)
2 tbsp Lemon Zest
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
3 Eggs
500 g Flour (Anna took 250 g special cake flour of it, I used normal flour, and it worked well)
2 tbsp Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1 Pinch of Salt
175 ml Butter milk (I could not find that, so I used Natural Yogurt Drink)
550 g mixed, frozen Berries (Anna took 150 g each of 3 different varieties)

Instructions

Step 1

Grease a large Bundt pan well with butter.

Step 2

Beat the butter with the sugar and a pinch of salt until soft. Mix in the lemon zest and vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs.

Step 3

Mix the 500 g flour with the baking powder and stir into the mixture together with the yogurt drink.

Step 4

Mix the frozen berries with the 2 tablespoons of flour and then fold into the batter. The flour prevents the berries from sinking to the bottom of the cake and prevents them from coloring the batter with their juices.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake in the oven at 180°C for approx. 60-70 minutes. Leave the cake to cool for 15 minutes before turning it over.

Notes

– You can sprinkle it with icing sugar
– or pour a glaze of lemon juice and powdered sugar over it
– or you can make a glaze of berry juice and icing sugar
– Anna has poured a lemon syrup over it
