Strawberry And Blueberry Cake Recipe
Ingredients
If you’re looking for a delicious cake that’s full of flavor and looks great too, this strawberry and blueberry cake is the recipe for you. To make this cake you’ll need the following ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup light brown sugar, 4 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 cup fresh blueberries, and 1 cup fresh strawberries.
Instructions
To make the cake, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, use a handheld mixer or a stand mixer to beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully combined. Then add the vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice and mix until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries and strawberries. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
For the frosting, you’ll need 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, 4 cups confectioners’ sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup fresh blueberries and 1/4 cup fresh strawberries for garnish. In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until fully incorporated. Beat in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt until combined. Spread the frosting over the cooled cakes and top with the fresh blueberries and strawberries.

When you’re ready to serve, cut the cakes into slices and enjoy! If you have any leftover cake, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
