Ingredients
Creating this cake requires a handful of ingredients that are probably already in your pantry or just a quick trip to the store away. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
If buttermilk isn’t handy, don’t fret. You can create a substitute by mixing one cup of milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and letting it sit for about 5 minutes.
Instructions
Let’s get baking! Follow these steps, and you’ll have a Raspberry Cake ready to delight your family and friends:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the raspberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired.
Baking is like painting with flavors, and this cake is your canvas. Don’t hesitate to add a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon to make it your own.
