Ingredients

  • 150g CSR Caster Sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • Seeds of 1 scraped vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 125g thick Greek yoghurt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 230g OO White Wings plain flour
  • 1 ½ tbsp baking powder
  • 1 lemon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 punnet blackberries
  • 2-3 tbsp almond flakes

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C conventional (160°C fan forced). Line a 28 x 13 cm (11”x5”) loaf tin with baking paper.
  2. Place sugar and eggs in a bowl and whisk until fluffy. Add yogurt, oil, flour and baking powder and mix until smooth.
  3. Add vanilla and lemon zest and stir in. Put 3/4 of the blackberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the tin and top with the rest of the berries and the almond flakes.
  4. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until pale golden and puffed up and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
  5. Cool in the tin then onto a rack to cool completely. Serve as it is or dusted with icing sugar and with a dollop of yogurt or a scoop of gelato.
