1 - The yogurt/buttermilk alteration worked just fine. Once again though, the frozen blackberries caused for the cake to take nearly double the time to bake.
2 - This just takes so much longer than an hour to bake. And using a toothpick doesn't work to test its done-ness, the cake is too deep. I need a skewer.
3 - I learned something! In the previous attempts, I did not use the Bundt pan appropriately. I have a silicone one that is too soft and I find putting it directly on the grill in the oven leaves marks on the bottom, so I put it on a baking sheet to make it easier to take out. What I learned is that the chimney in the Bundt pan has a purpose: to allow heat the move through the middle of the cake, which I was preventing from happening by blocking it with the cookie sheet. I used a metal Bundt pan and put it all by itself in the oven and the cake came out brilliantly.
2 3/4 cups (14.8 14.1oz/420g 400)
2 tsps. baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, room temperature (8oz/225gr)
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar (140g)
3/4 cup (210g) granulated sugar
4 large eggs (228g egg white?)
2 tsps. vanilla extract
2 Tbsps. lemon juice from one lemon
2 tsps. lemon zest from one lemon
2/3 cup yogurt 8 oz. plain Greek yogurt 1/3 (increased to 2/3 cup buttermilk delete the Greek yogurt)
10 ounces fresh blackberries
- Move oven rack to the center position and preheat oven to 350°F. Grease your Bundt pan and set aside (when I use a flat bottomed pan I'll cut out a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to come out).
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, scrape down the sides and beat again.
- Add the vanilla, lemon juice, zest, and yogurt, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the flour mixture.
- Fold in the blackberries and transfer the batter to the Bundt pan.
- Bake for 90 minutes (will take much longer with frozen fruit) or until the cake is golden brown, springy to the touch, and a skewer (to poke in deep) comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
