Thermomix Mixed Berry Yoghurt Cake
Serves 8-10

Despite having a number of steps, this cake is  super easy and super quick to prepare and results in a cake that's light and fluffy as a berry cloud!

Ingredients
125g butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
150g raw  sugar
3 eggs
¾ cup (110g) self-raising flour
1/3 cup (50g) plain flour
40g almonds
200g plain yogurt
1/3 cup (50g) frozen blueberries
1/3 cup (40g) frozen raspberries

How to
1. Preheat the oven to moderate (180°C). Grease a 20cm ring pan. (See TIP below.)
2. Mill the almonds for 8-10 seconds on speed 8. Set aside.
3. Mill the sugar to caster sugar for 3 seconds on speed 9. Add the butter and vanilla to the TM bowl and mix for 1 minute  on speed 3.
4. Add eggs one at a time, with the blades running on speed 3. This will take about 1 minute.
5. Add 100g yoghurt and mix for 30 seconds  on speed 3.
6. Add half of the flours and half the almond meal and mix for 30 seconds on speed 4.
7. Add the remaining 100g yoghurt and  mix for 30 seconds on speed 4.
8. Add the remaining flours and almond meal and mix for 30 seconds  on speed 4.
9. Spread the cake mixture into the prepared pan; sprinkle with the combined berries. Gently press berries into the top of the cake mixture.
10.Bake for about 45 minutes or until cooked when tested. Stand the cake for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. Dust with sifted icing sugar, if desired.

TIP! This cake can be made a day ahead and it’s also freezer  friendly. For a lovely looking ring - make sure the tin is really well-greased and lightly flour the tin before pouring the mixture in.

deedub - love it! Didn't have a ring tin so used a slightly bigger bundt tin, result is a bit of an odd shape but still tastes "delish", to quote the 9yo. Will definitely make again - love a recipe that uses ingredients I always have on hand, thank you!

Denzelmum - one third was gone in half an hour....  Took the rest to work to share.  Yummy and moist cake!  Thanks for sharing. Lots of good comments from work, maybe next time try to make on friand or muffin tin.  It's has friand texture.

Persistenttiger - Yum, made 18 cupcakes from this recipe. Only change was using 80g of natvia instead of sugar and used fresh strawberries (they were ripe and needed using) and some blueberries. Nice while warm but I can tell they will be even better tomorrow.

Aussie Brenda - I made a version of this misread the recipe and put in 150 of almonds I just threw it all in and whizzed it, left out the berries.  It was a but heavy and moist for me so I turned it into choc balls.  Like Rum balls.

Nice recipe thanks Sam and I love the plates you present your cakes on too 

Judy, you are too kind! I get almost all plates from Vinnies - I love them because they are all so individual. And the cake is pretty tasty too!

This sounds lovely, I would imagine that it is moist with the yoghurt in it too.

Have just printed this one off, too!!  It looks absolutely delightful, AT!  Really like the idea of "day before" and "freezer friendly"!!  thanks very much for posting the recipe! - That plate just sets it off beautifully, too!!

Another one to add to the list of must make.   Love your plate.

Aww thanks guys! I've tried the day before and the freezer trick and they both work brilliantly. The plate is another choice purchase from Vinnies! This is a big favourite at home, and with the peeps at the office! Just be sure to grease the tin really well, and dust with some flour, shaking off the excess before putting the mixture in the tin to get the perfect ring shape!

Yay! So pleased you liked it! I keep wanting to try it in a bundt tin, but there just never looks enough mixture!

Made this last night, and one third is gone in half an hour....  Took the rest to work to share.  Yummy and moist cake!  Thanks for sharing.

Cupcakes! What a great idea! I'm so going to try that! Enjoy!
