2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups chilled whipping cream

Steps:

  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350?F. Spray two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Line bottom of pans with parchment paper; spray again.
  • Whisk eggs, yolks, milk, lemon juice, and lemon peel in medium bowl to blend. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl to blend. Whisk oil and butter into flour mixture. Add egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cakes on racks 10 minutes. Run knife around edge of pans to loosen cakes. Turn cakes out onto racks. Cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap with plastic. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • For filling:

Strain raspberry curd into medium bowl, pressing on solids in strainer. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Whip cream and 1/2 cup sugar until peaks form. Fold 1 1/2 cups whipped cream into raspberry curd. Reserve remaining whipped cream.
  • Cut each cake horizontally into 2 layers. Place 1 layer, cut side down, on platter. Spread 1/3 of raspberry filling over. Repeat with 2 more cake layers and filling. Top with remaining cake layer.
  • Spread all but 1 cup plain whipped cream over top and sides of cake. Place remaining whipped cream in pastry bag fitted with star tip. Pipe design around bottom edge of cake.

LEMON SHEET CAKE WITH RASPBERRY WHIPPED CREAM



Lemon Sheet Cake With Raspberry Whipped Cream image

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.

Time 2h

Yield 1 (9-by-13-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
3 lemons, zested (about 5 tablespoons), plus 1/3 cup/80 milliliters lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
4 cups/510 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters vegetable oil
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters buttermilk, at room temperature
12 ounces/340 grams (about 2 3/4 heaping cups) raspberries (thawed, if frozen)
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/360 milliliters heavy cream
Lemon zest or sprinkles, for finishing (optional)

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 SNACK CAKE WITH RASPBERRY-CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Lemon Snack Cake with Raspberry-Cream Cheese Frosting image

There's so much to love about snacking cakes, those single-layer confections meant to be sliced into any time of day. Here lemon juice and zest brighten the batter, and ground freeze-dried raspberries give classic cream-cheese frosting a natural rosy tint. Pile on whole berries, and help yourself.

Time 2h10m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1/3 cup fresh juice
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 ounce freeze-dried raspberries (1/3 cup), finely ground
Fresh raspberries, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-inch round cake pan with butter. Line bottom with parchment; brush with butter. Dust with flour, tapping out excess.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another, stir together milk and lemon juice. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter with lemon zest, granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  • Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with milk mixture, just until no dry flour remains (do not overmix). Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until cake is golden and springs back when gently pressed, about 40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool 20 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack, remove parchment, and let cool completely.
  • For the Frosting: In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in confectioners' sugar and freeze-dried berries until smooth.
  • Spread frosting over top of cake. Decorate with fresh berries. Cake is best served on the same day, but can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • To make sure your cake layers are even, use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients.
  • To prevent the cake layers from sticking to the pans, grease and flour the pans before pouring in the batter.
  • Bake the cake layers until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake layers cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar to the frosting, beating until it is smooth and creamy.
  • To decorate the cake, pipe the frosting onto the top and sides of the cake.
  • Top the cake with fresh raspberries and lemon zest.

Conclusion:

This raspberry lemon cream cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is light and fluffy, with a delicate lemon flavor. The frosting is smooth and creamy, with a hint of raspberry. The fresh raspberries and lemon zest add a pop of color and flavor to the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
