Best Raspberry Nut Butter Cake Recipes

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.

DADDY'S RASPBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the entire bottom and sides of a 9-inch cake pan with shortening on a paper towel. Shake 1 tablespoon flour onto the pan until shortening is covered; turn pan over and lightly tap the bottom to remove excess flour.
• Sift 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a separate large bowl. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. Mix in milk. Mix in remaining flour mixture. Add 1/2 to 3/4 of the raspberries and mix until fully blended; mixture should be light pinkish red to purple in color. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Frost as desired and decorate with remaining raspberries.

RASPBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Oil a deep, 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line with baking parchment. Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
• Mix the oil, yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract and lemon zest in another bowl. Tip in the flour and sugar mixture and fold in until smooth. Gently fold in the raspberries and bake for 30-40 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack. Dust lightly with icing sugar and serve topped with more raspberries, if you like. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.

RASPBERRY BUTTER BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and position rack in center of oven.
• Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Stir the milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl, and also set aside.
• Beat the butter and 1 cup sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, 2-3 minutes, scraping the side of the bowl as necessary.
• Add the egg yolks one at a time, until combined, scraping the bowl well after each addition.
• With the electric mixer on low, alternately add a quarter of the flour and a quarter of the milk mixture at a time, combining well after each addition.
• Remove this mixture from the mixer bowl, placing in a separate larger mixing bowl.
• Wash and dry the mixer bowl well, and swirl around the 1/2 tsp lemon juice to enhance the egg whites.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes, then gently fold the egg white mixture with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
• Fold the egg white mixture into the cake batter, then add the raspberries and fold together until lightly combined.
• Spoon or gently pour the batter into the bundt pan, run a knife through to remove any air pockets and bake for 45- 50 minutes, until golden brown, or when a cake prick inserted near the centre of the cake comes out clean.
• Turn cake out onto a cake rack to cool.
• Dust with powdered sugar just before serving, and decorate with fresh raspberries and rose petals.
• Serve with clotted cream.
