How To Make The Best Summer Berry Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9 inch round metal cake pan with baking spray or oil. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the oil, milk, agave, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda together. Add the flour and mix until a batter is formed. Transfer the batter into the greased cake pan.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cake is golden on the top and completely cooked through.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. Once cool, plate the cake and then dust the top with powdered sugar. Add the whipped cream on top and the berries. Drizzle with agave and enjoy.
