Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 (8 oz) tub sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 4 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Icing:

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 teaspoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan:
    • Preheat your oven to 325°F. Thoroughly grease a 10-inch bundt pan with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the granulated sugar and continue to mix until the mixture is light and fluffy.
    • Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and lemon extract (if using) until well combined.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until the batter is smooth after each addition.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Prepare the Raspberries:
    • In the bowl you used for the dry ingredients, toss the raspberries with 1-2 tablespoons of flour until they are lightly coated.
    • Gently fold the coated raspberries into the batter.
  5. Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate to finish cooling completely.
  6. Make the Icing:
    • Once the cake is fully cooled, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
    • Drizzle the icing over the cake.
