Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and unsweetened applesauce together until well blended.
Add the low-fat plain yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and lemon zest, being careful not to crush the berries.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
