LEMON RASPBERRY CAKE

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.

RASPBERRY-BUTTERMILK COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray with flour.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition.
• In a small bowl, lightly mash raspberries. Stir in raspberry preserves.
• Spread three-fourths of batter into prepared pan. Gently spread raspberry mixture onto batter. Top with remaining batter, spreading to edges of pan. Sprinkle with Cinnamon-Pecan Crumble.
• Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes, loosely covering with foil to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Using a wooden spoon, stir in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in pecans.

RASPBERRY BUTTERMILK COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 10-inch tube pan (angel food cake pan) with butter and lightly dust with flour. If you don't have a tube pan, use a 9- or 10-inch springform cake pan.

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add about one-third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture followed by one-third of the buttermilk. Continue until all the ingredients are mixed together, scraping the sides as needed. Add the raspberries and use a spoon to stir just until mixed into the batter.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pan. Mix together the Streusel Topping ingredients and sprinkle over the top of the cake, pressing down gently.
• Bake until the top of the cake is just firm and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake, about 45 to 50 minutes for a 10-inch tube pan. The time may vary if using a standard springform cake pan.
• Leave to cool completely on the counter. Once cool, run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake. Invert gently and set upright on a cake plate. Cut into wedges and serve.

RASPBERRY BUTTERMILK CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Grease 6 non-stick mini round molds with a thin layer of butter (or a 12-inch pan). Sprinkle with flour. Invert the molds and gently shake the excess flour off. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with 1 cup granulated sugar until you get a pale yellow foam; the texture of the egg yolk will be thicker. Add the vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Sift the dry ingredients.
• Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the egg mixture. Mix until well combined. Add butter, brown sugar and lemon juice.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar with the fresh raspberries.
• Reserve 6 pistachio kernels and slightly crush them. Set aside.
• Pour a layer of cake batter into the molds. Cover with raspberries and whole pistachio kernels. Finish with the remaining cake batter.
• Place the molds on a baking tray. Bake for 5 minutes at 375°F, then lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 40-45 minutes (rotate the tray half-way through the baking process). A skewer or a toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
• This next step is optional (first photo). Loosen the sides of the mold using a knife. Place a serving plate on top of the mold and invert the cake.
• Garnish with fresh raspberries. Dust with powdered sugar (using a fine-mesh strainer) and finish a sprinkle of the reserved crushed pistachios.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Serve with hot tea.
• Bon appétit!
