How to Make Raspberry Lazy Daisy Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup milk and 4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is steaming. Do not boil.
  7. Gradually pour the warm milk mixture into the batter, mixing until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh raspberries.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top evenly with 3 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. **Optional Topping:** While the cake is baking, prepare the topping by combining ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) cold unsalted butter. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  12. Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with the streusel topping (if using) after the cake has cooled.
