# Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the surface.

03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat together Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, olive oil or melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
04 - Add the mixed dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently stir just until incorporated, avoiding overmixing for optimal texture.
05 - In a separate bowl, toss mixed berries with 1 tablespoon flour to coat evenly, then fold gently into the batter.
06 - Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smooth the surface, and sprinkle sliced almonds and coarse sugar on top if desired.
07 - Place pan in oven and bake for 33–38 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
08 - Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
