Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ cup milk
1 cup fresh raspberries, divided
1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting, or as needed

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.
