A delightful Fresh Raspberry Layer Cake that combines sweet and tangy flavors, featuring fluffy layers, raspberry filling, and whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pureed fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Fresh raspberries for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans with grease and flour.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Beat together the softened butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
  4. Gradually pour the creamy mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Squeeze in the pureed raspberries and gently mix until incorporated.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cakes completely in their pans before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. Gently heat the raspberry jam in a saucepan over low heat until smooth and slightly thinned, then allow to cool.
  10. Combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled mixing bowl and beat until stiff peaks form.
  11. Assemble by placing one cake layer on a serving platter, spreading a thin layer of raspberry jam, and adding whipped cream.
  12. Top with the second cake layer, frost with remaining whipped cream, and garnish with fresh raspberries.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature before starting for better blending. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
