Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by lemon juice and lemon zest.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix just until combined.
  6. Blend raspberries until smooth to make the puree. Strain to remove seeds if desired.
  7. Pour half the batter into the prepared cake pan. Add dollops of raspberry puree over the batter and swirl gently with a knife or skewer. Repeat with the remaining batter and puree.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the optional glaze, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter and even baking.’, ‘Don’t overmix the raspberry puree into the batter for a more dramatic swirl.’, ‘Tent the cake with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if it browns too quickly.’, ‘Adjust the glaze consistency by varying the amount of lemon juice.’]
