Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon flour (for coating the fruit)
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a creamy base for the batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing the batter.
- Prepare Fruit: Toss the fresh raspberries and chopped peaches with 1 tablespoon of flour in a small bowl. This coats the fruit lightly and helps prevent it from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
- Fold in Fruit: Gently fold the coated raspberries and peaches into the cake batter, ensuring even distribution without crushing the fruit.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, indicating it is fully baked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve the cake plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
