Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix together 225 grams of the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk to the dry ingredients and beat until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
In a separate bowl, toss the mixed berries with a tablespoon of the remaining flour to coat them slightly. This helps to prevent them from sinking.
Spread the berries evenly over the batter in the cake pan.
To make the crumble topping, combine the remaining 50 grams of flour with the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix to combine.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the berries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
