Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup raspberry jam
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Make the Batter: In a large mixing 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 vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Prepare Raspberry Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the fresh raspberries and raspberry jam, mashing them slightly to create a sauce.
Layer the Batter: Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans. Spoon the raspberry mixture over the batter and use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired and slice to serve.
