Lemon Berry Cake

Lemon Berry Cake

10/15/20 | baking with kids, breakfast, budget-friendly, butter, cake, cupcake, dessert, Lemon

This Lemon Berry Cake is my go-to any time I want something freshly baked. It’s quick, easy, works great with any berry. I bake it every chance I get, in all shapes and sizes. Ice it, don’t ice, it’s delicious either way.


As a Bundt cake, it makes the best hostess gift or treat for your favorite grocery store, nail salon.  In dainty mini form, it’s perfect for afternoon tea with Daisy. Even traditional Easter cake called Paska gets a supermodel makeover, baked in coffee tins, the way my grandmother Nina used to do it. Eat it for breakfast – I’m not telling.

Frozen fruit holds up better in the oven, but fresh is fine, also.
Freshly grated lemon zest adds a beautiful aroma and taste. Topped with lemon icing and more fresh zest, this Berry Lemon Cake turns ordinary days into something special.

    Well, I’d definitely have mine for breakfast. Would be so delicious with my coffee. I love something sweet in the morning. (Not that I’d be opposed to having it any other time of the day!) Lemon and blueberries is such a lovely combination. :-)~Valentina

I often think about going purely vegan. Then I rem I often think about going purely vegan. Then I remember how much I love butter. So, as a comprise, this AM, I did s little experiment to see how much I'd really miss butter.

Ripe, creamy avocado stood in for butter on Cinnamon Raisin toast and was delightful! I highly recommend you take an occasional walk on the wild side and use avocados in place of butter. 

My cute mug is a birthday gift. You can find it on Amazon..
