Vegan Barberry Lemon & Yoghurt Cake
This soft, moist lemony cake has an exquisite combination of flavours with the added tartness of barberries -- a small red, highly nutritious berry that is an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants.

INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/2 cup plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp bicarb soda
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1/3 cup dried barberries
METHOD
