Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9"-diameter cake pan with nonstick spray; line bottom with a parchment paper round.
Lightly coat parchment with nonstick spray. Mix cardamom and 2 Tbsp. sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
Whisk flour, baking powder, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl.
Make a well in the center; add eggs, yogurt, oil, and citrus zest and whisk to combine.
Switch to a wooden spoon or rubber spatula and gradually work in dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
Fold in berries; scrape batter into prepared pan.
Mix tahini, a pinch of salt, and remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar in another small bowl.
Drizzle evenly over batter; sprinkle reserved cardamom sugar over top.
Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50–60 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack; let cool in pan. Invert onto a plate, then turn right side up.
