Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in 1 and 1/2 cups of the mixed berries, being careful not to mash them.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup of mixed berries over the top of the batter for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve the cake. Enjoy as is, or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
