Equipment

  • Bowl
  • hand blender

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 8 oz unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 cups berries
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • lemon zest from one lemon
  • lemon juice from 1 ½ lemon

For the glaze:

  • 5 oz cream cheese
  • 2 oz unsalted butter
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • lemon zest from one lemon
  • lemon juice from ½ lemon

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix together 2 ½ cups cake flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, ½ tsp of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  • With a mixer on medium speed in a separate bowl, beat together 8 oz of cream cheese and 8 oz of unsalted butter until completely incorporated. Then, continuing beating gradually add in 1 ½ cup of sugar and beat until fluffy. Now we can add zest from one lemon and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Whisking constantly add 5 eggs. Beat well at medium speed for 2-3 more minutes.
  • Now lower the speed and combine wet mixture with the flour mixture. When you see the flour well-incorporated, add juice from 1 ½ lemon and mix it again. At the end fold in about 2 cups of berries. You will get a creamy and fluffy cake batter.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease generously the bundt cake pan with butter or nonstick spray. Transfer the batter in a pan and bake for about 60 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and leave it to cool completely.
  • Spread icing over the top of the cake and decorate with fresh berries, mint leaves or confetti.
  • Infuse your favorite tea and serve with pleasure.
