Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 6-ounce container fresh raspberries
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the pan
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the pan
1/2 cup lemonade
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon lemon zest, left out to dry for 30 minutes, plus juice of 1/2 lemon
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the raspberries in a bowl and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the granulated sugar and butter. Add the eggs 1 at a time, mixing after each addition. Turn the mixer to low and gradually add all but 2 tablespoons of the flour (reserve the 2 tablespoons for the raspberries). Add the lemonade and salt and mix until combined. Add the lemon zest and mix. Scrape the bowl.
  • Toss the remaining 2 tablespoons flour with the raspberries in the bowl; this will stop them from sinking. Fold the raspberries into the batter with a spatula.
  • Butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and even out the surface. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center does not come out totally clean but isn't wet with batter either, 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let the cake sit in the pan for 30 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to cool.
  • For the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice, salt and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl. Gently whisk until thick but pourable, adding a little more water if needed. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let set.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to use, and that your oven is preheated to the correct temperature.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh lemons and raspberries are essential for this recipe.
  • Zest the Lemons Finely: Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the lemons. This will give you a more intense lemon flavor.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a moist and tender cake.
  • Add the Eggs One at a Time: Adding the eggs one at a time helps prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the Dry Ingredients Gradually: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to avoid overmixing the batter, which can make the cake tough.
  • Fold in the Berries Gently: Gently fold the berries into the batter so they don't break apart too much.
  • Bake until a Toothpick Inserted Comes Out Clean: Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Make the Glaze While the Cake Cools: While the cake is cooling, make the glaze so it has time to thicken slightly before you pour it over the cake.
