And it lives up to its name. Easy peasy.
I haven't been able to bake much lately as I'm finishing up the move. I hope to get all settled next week and start pounding out some stuff. I have a big thing planned for the blog in October/November...stay tuned! :)
I'll post about the conference (and food) when I get back!
This cake is so easy to make. Give your KitchenAid a break and pull out a bowl, basic ingredients and a whisk. Any soft fruit will be yummy. I'd like to try it with some fresh peaches next summer!
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
zest of 1 lemon
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pour into cake pan. I used a 8" pan. Top with any soft fruit, I used strawberries & blueberries. Top with a tablespoon of raw sugar.
As a bonus, it is non-dairy too!
Have a great weekend! See you next week! - mary the food librarian

Dang, this really IS the easiest cake ever. And looks so srumptious. I wish I were going to the BlogHer conference, but sigh, I'll have to hear your recount when you return.
It does sound easy, but it looks so pretty that anyone would think you put a lot of time into it. Very nice.
This looks divine! Next dinner party we have, I'm making this!
Beautiful! Simple..elegant and all natural~
Hope you're having a great trip! What a yummy, easy looking cake.
Hmmm, this looks familiar....I'm pretty sure I've made this one. I like how you sliced your strawberries.
Have a safe and funfilled trip!

Wow! Just a few ingredients that you throw all together then bake. It's so easy! And it comes out looking as amazing as a pie!
So glad you tried this cake! It's so good and you've got some beautiful photos there :) Have fun at Blogher!
What a great cake! It was so fun to meet you!!! And now I won't picture an old lady librarian with a bun in her hair anymore. hehe! ;)
i'm baking challenged and have been looking for a recipe for something to make - this is going on my list!!!!
Your easiest cake looks splendidly delish... it looks chic and decadent.
You can't beat easy! And so pretty - I love the say you sliced your strawberries crosswise. Great recipe!
love this cake! I am making it for work this week for sure!
Easy cakes are good for times like these :) It was wonderful meeting you in SF - sorry we didn't see much of each other after the morning part, but I'm so glad I met you!
Did I miss the oven temp and time to bake?
Michele and everyone else! Oops. 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Until toothpick comes out clean. :)
This cake looks AMAZING!!! I'm putting this in my "Summer" cateogory of saved recipes because this is a GORGEOUS summer dessert! I guess I could try it for fall, too, with some apples? Do you think that would work? Gorgeous!
This does sounds like the easiest cake ever!
Looks gorgeous! Too bad summer is pretty much over.
I made a similar dessert with peaches and blueberries.
Made it this weekend with super-ripe plums from farmer's market and almond extract instead of vanilla. It turned out great! Thanks!
This looks like a terrific cake! Love the strawberries and blueberries on top. Isn't it nice to make a recipe from time to time that doesn't require the KitchenAid?
I love easy...this looks delicious.
What a beautiful cake!!!
This cake is sooo delicious - we are making it for the 2nd time in 2 days!!! This is definitely a keeper! It's great for breakfast, dessert, snack - anytime.
