Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk

Fruits and Garnish

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan to ensure the cake does not stick.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the batter with flavor.
  5. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix each addition until just combined to avoid overmixing and ensure a tender cake.
  6. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries using a spatula, taking care not to crush the berries and release too much juice into the batter.
  7. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
  8. Bake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
  10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once the cake is fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar using a fine sieve and garnish with extra fresh raspberries for an elegant touch.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe raspberries and handle them gently to maintain their shape.
  • If buttermilk is unavailable, you can substitute by mixing ½ cup milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding the flour to avoid a dense cake.
  • Make sure the butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming with sugar.
  • This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
