Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F and grease a 9” round cake pan with non-stick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt and set aside.
  • With a hand-mixer, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy in a larger bowl.
  • Add in buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients with a spatula, then fold in half of the raspberries.
  • Pour into prepared cake pan and then add the remaining raspberries on top. Sprinkle the top with 2 teaspoons (or more) of sugar and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center comes out dry with moist crumbs when a toothpick is inserted.
  • Place on a cooling rack until it is slightly warm. If needed, loosen the edges, and remove from the pan carefully.
  • Cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
  • Cut and serve.

Notes

  • Use parchment: Place a circle of parchment paper on the bottom of the cake pan to make it easier to remove.
  • Don’t overmix: Be sure to mix until the ingredients are just combined. I don’t like to overwork batter or dough because I find it makes the result less airy and fluffy.
  • Don’t overbake: Once an inserted toothpick comes out clean, it is fully baked. Don’t leave it in the oven longer so it is brown on top. It can make the cake dry.
