LEMON SHEET CAKE WITH RASPBERRY WHIPPED CREAM
This lovely cake was inspired by the colors and flavors of pink lemonade. Don't be tempted to skip the first step of this recipe, which asks you to rub lemon zest into granulated sugar: The sugar granules help release the essential oils in the zest, making for a brighter lemon flavor and fragrance. (If you're really short on time, you can skip using your hands and just mix with the paddle attachment inside the mixer bowl on low speed for 1 minute.) Slather this sunny cake with swoopy, easy-to-make raspberry whipped cream then serve as is, or dressed up with lemon zest or sprinkles.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick spray, then line the pan with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with nonstick spray.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, use your hands to rub together the sugar and lemon zest.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the butter and oil to the bowl with the lemon sugar, and transfer it to the mixer. Using the paddle attachment, cream the mixture on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, add the lemon juice in a slow, steady stream and mix until well combined, 1 minute more. Scrape the bowl well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed until each is incorporated before adding the next, about 1 to 2 minutes each. Scrape the bowl well every two to three additions.
- Add half of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. With the mixer running on low speed, add the buttermilk in a slow, steady stream, and mix until fully incorporated. Add the remaining flour and mix until it's evenly incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Transfer to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 27 to 32 minutes. Cool completely.
- While the cake cools, make the frosting: In a medium bowl, mash the raspberries with a potato masher or large fork until broken down. Stir in 1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar, and let macerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Strain the raspberry mixture. (You should have at least 3/4 cup/180 milliliters juice. Reserve any excess for cocktails, stir it into sparkling water, or drizzle over ice cream.)
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream and the remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar on medium speed until the mixture reaches soft peaks, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- With the mixer still running on medium speed, pour the raspberry juice into the mixer in a slow, steady stream. (Reduce splattering by pouring away from the moving whisk.) Continue to whip until the mixture forms peaks, about 30 seconds to 1 minute more.
- Spoon the frosting over the cooled cake and spread into an even layer. If desired, garnish with lemon zest and sprinkles.

LEMON CAKE WITH LEMON CREAM OR RASPBERRY SAUCE
From A. Lindsay Light Cooking. Baking it as I write!! You can replace the extra-thick yogurt by yogurt cheese. Delicious moist cake with a nice lemon flavour - Made holes on both sides of cake to make sure all the lemon syrup went in - was worried it would be too sour - but not at all!! The sauce with the yogurt is great too! For all lemon lovers - got to try this!!

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
- Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will help to release the essential oils from the lemon zest, which will give your cake a more intense lemony flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have raspberry preserves, you can use another type of fruit preserves, such as strawberry or blueberry. You can also use fresh raspberries, but you will need to cook them down into a sauce before using them.
- The whipped cream can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be sure to whip it again before using.
Conclusion:
Lemon sheet cake with raspberry whipped cream is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the whipped cream is light and fluffy. The combination of lemon and raspberry is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone.
