Raspberry Lemon Cake with Lemon Buttercream: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries (plus more for decoration)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Incorporate Milk and Zest: Gradually mix in the milk, lemon zest, and the dry ingredients, alternating between them, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
  6. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to mash them.
  7. Divide and Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the Cakes: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the Lemon Buttercream: While the cakes cool, prepare the lemon buttercream by beating the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
  11. Frost the Cakes: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of lemon buttercream on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining lemon buttercream.
  12. Decorate: Garnish with additional fresh raspberries and lemon zest for a stunning presentation.
