Ingredients

All-purpose flour 1 Cup

Almond flour 1 Cup

Baking powder 1.5 Tsp

Baking soda 1/2 Tsp

Kosher salt 1/2 Tsp

Tahini 1/2 Cup

Extra virgin olive oil 1/2 Cup

Sugar 1 Cup

Large Eggs 3

Vanilla extract 1 Tsp

Plain Greek yogurt 1/2 Cup

Milk 1/2 Cup

Mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) 1 Cup

For the syrup:

Honey 1/4 Cup

Lemon juice 1/4 Cup

Warm water 1/4 Cup

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan and line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the tahini, olive oil, and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, along with the Greek yogurt and milk. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, make the syrup. In a small saucepan, heat the honey, lemon juice, and water over medium heat. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has thickened slightly.

Step 8

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Use a toothpick to poke several holes all over the top of the cake.

Step 9

Pour the syrup over the cake, making sure to fill all the holes. Once the cake has cooled completely, arrange the berry mixture on top of the cake
