Ingredients

📦 1 box yellow cake mix
🥚 4 eggs
🧈 10 tablespoons butter, melted
🥛 1 cup milk
🫐 1 cup fresh blueberries
🍓 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
🍋 Zest of 1 lemon
🍋 Juice of 1 lemon
🌾 1 tablespoon flour (for coating berries)

For the Lemon Glaze:
🍬 1 cup powdered sugar
🍋 1.5 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

1- Preheat:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2- Prepare Ingredients:

• Melt the butter in the microwave.
• Zest and juice the lemon, and chop the strawberries.

3- Mix Wet Ingredients:

• Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk, then add the milk and whisk again.
• Stir in the melted butter.

4- Combine Cake Mix:

• Add the cake mix, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the wet mixture.
• Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth.

5- Prepare Berries:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the blueberries and chopped strawberries.
• Mix to coat them lightly with flour (this will keep them from sinking during baking).

6- Fold in Berries:

• Gently fold the floured berries into the cake batter, being careful not to overmix.

7- Prepare Baking Pan:

• Grease a cake pan with vegetable shortening or nonstick spray.
• Lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.

8- Bake:

• Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9- Cool:

• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes.

10- Make Lemon Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 1.5 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Adjust the consistency with more lemon juice, if needed, to reach your preferred glaze thickness.

11- Finish and Serve:
- Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
