Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence I use organic
  • 2 cups white wheat flour I used King Arthur's
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup sour cream I use Daisy's Light
  • 1 cup packed -chopped mix of strawberries blueberries, blackberries and raspberries
  • For your crumbly top
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 2 tbsps cold butter
  • 2 tsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
  2. Crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk till fluffy
  3. Add sugar to the whipped eggs and mix well
  4. Pour in the oil and continue to mix
  5. Add the vanilla essence.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix together your dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda
  7. Add 1/3rd of your dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix well.
  8. Add to this 1/3 of your sour cream and mix
  9. Alternate the remainder of the dry mix with the remainder of the sour cream
  10. Once this is done, switch of your electric mixer and slowly fold in the berry mix manually. (If you use your mixer you will have berry slush and not yummy berry chunks in your cake!)
  11. Pour your cake mixture into a greased cake pan (grease and lightly dusted with all purpose flour) and get ready to prepare your crumbly topping.
  12. For the crumbly topping- manually mix the all purpose flour, cinnamon, butter and brown sugar together. You should end up with a crumbly mix. Sprinkle the crumbles on top of your cake mixture.
  13. Pray over your cake (Yes, in our home we always do that. We say that's the secret to a yum cake!) and pop it into the oven for 20-25 minutes.
  14. Once baked to perfection (do the toothpick test to ensure you've got a cake that has baked through), pull out of the oven and cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing out warm berry baked goodness to the hungry folk around!! :)
