How to Make Raspberry Cake Filling

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  4. Once cooled, spread generously onto your favorite cake, cupcakes, or dessert.
