In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients (milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract) until well combined.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the mixed berries into the batter.
Baking
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve.
