Frosting Preparation
- Place 1½ cups whole milk yogurt in a sieve or fine-mesh strainer lined with a paper towel over a bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge.
- Transfer yogurt to a bowl and stir in 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cake Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Trace one 5-inch cake pans onto parchment paper and cut out three rounds. Trim slightly to fit inside each pan.
- Grease three 5-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and place a round of parchment inside each. Grease again.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between prepared cake pans, using about 1⅓ cups batter in each pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 22-26 minutes. Remove from oven and place pans onto a wire rack. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then carefully invert to cool fully. Discard parchment paper rounds.
Assembly
- To assemble, place one cake on your serving plate. Top with about ⅓-½ cup of frosting, spreading in an even layer just past the edges.
- Add the second cake, repeat with frosting, and then repeat with the third cake.
- Use an offset spatula or knife to scrape off the frosting overhang for a 'naked' cake look, or use additional frosting to coat the entire cake. Top with berries and serve.
