Categories     Breakfast     Cake Recipes     Desserts     Tea

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

235 g plain flour plus 1 tsp
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine salt
125 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
185 g caster sugar
1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind
3 large eggs
125 ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup raspberries ((or choice of berries))
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp caster sugar
60 g confectioner's sugar
3 tsp fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 190 deg C (375 deg F). Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13-cm) loaf pan.
  • Sift the flour (excluding the extra 1 tsp), baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, place butter, sugar, and lemon zest into the mixer bowl and cream on medium-high speed (speed 3 to 4 on my Kitchen Aid mixer) until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the milk and vanilla extract and stir until well combined. Fold in the flour mixture, using a wooden spoon or spatula, until just blended. In a separate bowl, toss the raspberries with 1 tsp flour to coat evenly. Gently fold into the batter.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, and level the surface. Gently tap the pan on the counter-top a few times to eliminate air pockets. Bake in the centre of the oven until the cake turns golden brown, or until a metal or bamboo skewer inserted into the centre emerges free of batter, about 55 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for a few minutes, then turn out onto the wire rack. Turn the cake onto its side to cool, while you make the syrup (optional).

LEMON RASPBERRY CAKE



Lemon Raspberry Cake image

Ultra moist and flavorful Lemon Raspberry Cake!

Provided by Ashley Manila

Categories     Dessert

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.

LEMON AND RASPBERRY POUND CAKE

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.
