Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup raspberry puree

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract, followed by the lemon zest.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour until just combined. Fold in the raspberries gently.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Fold in the raspberry puree.
  10. Once the cakes are cool, spread frosting between the layers and on top of the cake. Decorate with extra raspberries if desired.

Notes

  • For a more intense raspberry flavor, consider adding more raspberry puree to the frosting.
  • This cake pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee.
