Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 3 pieces eggs, large
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.5 cups fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the orange zest, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
On low speed, gradually mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Raspberry Orange Cake!
