What Do I Need To Make This Easy Berry Cake Recipe?

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
• 1 cup fresh sliced strawberries
• ¼ cup sugar (granulated)
• 1 (3 ounce) box raspberry gelatin
• 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
• ¾ cup water
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare either a 9×13 inch baking pan or a 12 inch cast iron skillet by greasing it extremely well. 

 In the bottom of your pan,  evenly distribute the berries, followed by the sugar, and then the gelatin powder.

 Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs and Greek yogurt. Mix on low for 30 seconds and then switch to medium high. Mix for another 2 minutes, scraping down the sides if needed.

Step 3: Pour the cake batter over the top of the berries. Gently tap the cake pan on the counter to help remove any air bubbles and help the batter settle in on top of the berries.

Step 4: Bake at 350 degrees for 35-42 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter. 

Quick tip: When flipping your cake, run a knife around the edge of the pan so none of the cake is stuck to the side!

Serve this cake with a dollop of whipped cream on top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra bit of creamy sweetness!
