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.

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs

5 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup raspberry jam

  • Combine the butter, granulated sugar, oil, lemon zest and vanilla together in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs in, one at a time. Beat in the lemon juice.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.

Refrigerate the cake until the frosting is firm, about 20 minutes. Use the remaining frosting to evenly cover the cake. Mound the remaining raspberries in the center and serve.

Time 3h10m

Yield one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
Zest of 2 lemons
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
7 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup lemon curd
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups fresh raspberries
Lemon zest, for finishing, optional

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and line the base and sides with parchment paper.
  • Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed to lighten slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Rub together the granulated sugar and lemon zest in a medium bowl to combine. Add the sugar to the mixer and cream on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and mix until well combined. Scrape the bowl well.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition until fully incorporated and scraping the bowl well after every 2 to 3 additions.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Add the flour to the mixer in 2 to 3 additions, mixing each until fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  • Bake until the cake springs back slightly when pressed right in the center, 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, then remove the outer ring and peel away the parchment paper. Transfer the cooled cake to a serving platter or cake stand.
  • For finishing: Use a paring knife to cut a round out of the center of the cake -- start about 2 inches from the outside edge. Remove this round of cake and cut about 1/2-inch from the bottom (save this to eat as a snack).
  • Spoon the lemon curd into the center of the cake, then place the trimmed cake back on top. Refrigerate while you prepare the whipped cream.
  • Whisk together the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl to medium peaks. Spoon the cream over the top of the cake and spread into an even layer. Arrange the raspberries on top and sprinkle with lemon zest, if using. Refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 6 hours).

  • With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the bowl in three additions. Mix until just combined, then use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any large air pockets. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely on a rack before frosting.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: Combine the butter, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low until combined, then turn the mixer up to medium-high and stream in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Whip the frosting until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, adding additional lemon juice as necessary until frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store leftover cake at room temperature, covered for up to 2 days.

LEMON RASPBERRY CAKE



Lemon Raspberry Cake image

Whether you're serving it at a birthday party, shower, or special dinner, everyone will swoon over the look and taste of this elegant dessert. The light and tender cake layers are made with fresh lemon zest and juice and tangy sour cream to balance out the sweetness. (You can bake the cake layers one day in advance. Wrap each layer tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the cake.) The cake is covered with a thick layer of dreamy cream cheese-raspberry frosting made with fresh berries. The berries are pureed, then strained to remove the seeds before they are added to the frosting, giving it a gorgeous pink hue and smooth texture. But the best surprise of all is hidden inside this amazing cake. When you slice into it, everyone will be surprised to find a layer of fresh raspberries inside. Arrange the berries stem-side-down on the cake for the prettiest presentation.

Time 2h10m

Yield Serves 12 (serving size: 1 slice)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Vegetable shortening, for greasing pans
1 cup (8 oz.) salted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest, plus 2 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 large lemon), divided
4 large eggs
2 cups (about 8 1/2 oz.) all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 (8-oz.) container sour cream
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
12 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 small lemon)
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries, plus whole or halved fresh raspberries for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 (8-inch) round cake pans. Beat butter with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in lemon zest. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until just blended after each addition.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating on low speed until just blended after each addition. Beat in lemon juice. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans; spread evenly in pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in centers of cakes comes out clean, 22 to 26 minutes. Let cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks, about 1 hour.
  • Prepare the Frosting: Process 1/2 cup raspberries in a blender or food processor until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Spoon pureed raspberries into a fine mesh strainer set over a small bowl; press raspberries using the back of a spoon to strain juices. Set raspberry juice aside. Discard solids.
  • Beat cream cheese and 6 tablespoons of the sugar with a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons raspberry juice; beat until combined. (Discard remaining raspberry juice, or reserve for another use.)
  • Beat whipping cream and lemon juice with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium-high; slowly add remaining 6 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Fold half of the whipped cream mixture into cream cheese mixture; fold in remaining whipped cream mixture.
  • Assemble the cake: Place 1 Cake Layer on a serving plate or a cake stand; spread with some of the Frosting to a 1/2-inch depth. Cover frosted Cake Layer with 1 1/2 cups raspberries, flat sides down, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Spread some of the frosting over raspberry layer to a depth of 1/2 inch. Top with remaining Cake Layer. Spread remaining Frosting over top and sides of cake. Decorate with whole or halved raspberries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but fresh lemon juice will give your cake a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Make the whipped cream just before serving. Whipped cream will start to deflate after a few hours, so it's best to make it fresh.

Conclusion:

This lemon sheet cake with raspberry whipped cream is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the whipped cream is light and fluffy. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
