Delicious Raspberry Almond Cake Recipe

This Raspberry Almond Cake features a tender almond-flavored batter studded with juicy raspberries. The cake takes about 1 hour to prepare and bake, serving 8 people.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh raspberries
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the almond extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
