Follow these steps to bake a moist and flavorful Raspberry Lemon Pound Cake:
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk
For the raspberry swirl:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Additional raspberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
In a separate small bowl, gently mash the raspberries with granulated sugar to create a chunky raspberry swirl.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the raspberry swirl mixture on top and use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter.
Add the remaining cake batter on top and repeat the process with the remaining raspberry swirl mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
If desired, garnish the cake with fresh raspberries for an extra touch of elegance
