Instructions
1- Preheat:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2- Prepare Ingredients:

- 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.

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.

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:
