Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the eggs, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the mixed berries and lemon zest into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
