Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1.5 cups Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gently mix in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cake texture.
Fold in the fresh raspberries gently using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 38-42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
