How to Make Raspberry Buttermilk Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) with rack in the middle.
  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2/3 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Sprinkle evenly with 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve and enjoy!
