Ultra moist and flavorful Lemon Raspberry Cake!

Provided by Ashley Manila

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 cup (2 sticks or 8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure lemon extract (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 and 1/2 cups cake flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, if using frozen, do not thaw first
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 block (8 ounces) full-fat cream cheese, a little softer than room temperature
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, a little softer than room temperature
4 cups confectioners' sugar, more if needed
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon pure lemon extract (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Cut out two 9-inch round segments of parchment paper to line your cake pans with. Spray each pan generously - sides and bottom - with nonstick cooking spray, then place the parchment paper cut out in the bottom of the pans and spray again. It's important to make sure every bit of pan and paper are sprayed so your cakes don't get stuck. Set pans aside.
  • In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), combine the butter, both sugars, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla extract; beat on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes (don't skimp on time here!). Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mixing well to evenly combine the ingredients. Add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until everything is just barely combined. You should still see some lumps and dry streaks. Turn mixer off. Add in the milk, sour cream, and lemon juice; use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients into the mixture, stirring until everything is incorporated, but being sure not to overmix. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, gently toss the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Add the raspberries, and any remaining flour, to the batter and fold in by hand, using a rubber spatula, until just combined. Again, be sure not to over mix! Over mixing is very easy to do, and will result in a dry, dense cake.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the tops are firm and slightly golden, and a cake tester (or toothpick) inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist (but not wet) crumbs clinging to it.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen any stuck bits, then turning them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • While the cakes cool, you can make the frosting.

RASPBERRY CAKE



Raspberry Cake image

This is a moist one layer cake that makes a stunning presentation. The raspberries topping the cake hold their shape and position when the cake bakes. I've also made this cake using blackberries and it's just as pretty and delicious, either as a coffee cake or a dessert cake.

RASPBERRY CAKE



Raspberry cake image

Make this summery cake with seasonal fresh raspberries. A dusting of icing sugar offsets the red of the raspberries, but you could also serve with a glaze.

Provided by Samuel Goldsmith

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

125ml sunflower oil, plus extra for the tin
175g self-raising flour
175g caster sugar
125ml 10% fat Greek yogurt
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested
200g raspberries
icing sugar, to dust
100g raspberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Oil a deep, 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line with baking parchment. Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix the oil, yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract and lemon zest in another bowl. Tip in the flour and sugar mixture and fold in until smooth. Gently fold in the raspberries and bake for 30-40 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack. Dust lightly with icing sugar and serve topped with more raspberries, if you like. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries: Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and texture for this cake. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the raspberry cake. It's rich and creamy, with a slight tang that balances out the sweetness of the raspberries.

Conclusion:

This raspberry cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a moist and flavorful cake with a creamy frosting and plenty of fresh raspberries. Follow these tips to make the best raspberry cake you've ever tasted!
