Instructions
Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Generously butter and flour a 12-cup bundt pan, tapping out excess flour. You can also use a cooking spray with flour like Baker's Joy spray with flour.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer ( with the paddle attachment), or with a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light. Add oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat until well blended.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the batter with sour cream, mixing on low speed just until combined.
- In a medium bowl toss raspberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and gently fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350˚F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack and let cook completely.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Using a hand mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and salt and mix until combined.
- Gradually add in powdered sugar and mix until combined.
- Decorate the cooled cake. Top with fresh raspberries, lemon slices and lemon zest.
- Serve and enjoy!
- Store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for 6-7 days.
Notes
Storage: If you plan to store the cake for more than a day or two, it is best to keep it in the refrigerator. Place cake in the airtight container in the fridge. It should keep for up to a week. When you're ready to serve the cake, remove it from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour before slicing.
