Mixed Berry Goat Cheese Cake

11 ounces goat cheese
3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon freshly chopped lemon zest
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 pints blackberries
1 1/2 pints raspberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and sugar a 9 inch round cake pan.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix until smooth then add egg yolks, two at a time. Stir in flour.

Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the goat cheese mixture. Spread the batter into prepared cake pan.

Bake the cake until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool the cake and remove it from the pan by inverting it onto a large serving platter or large plate. Serve the cake with berries placed in the center.

This cake can be made a day ahead of serving. Store at room temperature wrapped in plastic wrap. Do not add the berries until you're ready to serve.
Serves 6 to 8.
