Instructions

  1. Make the Cake:
  2. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and generously grease a bundt pan.
  3. Prepare lemons: Zest and juice the lemons. Set aside the zest and reserve ¼ cup of the juice for the glaze.
  4. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Sift dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix gently.
  8. Add lemon and milk: Stir in the lemon zest, remaining lemon juice, and milk until well combined.
  9. Add remaining dry ingredients: Fold in the remaining dry ingredients.
  10. Fold in raspberries: Gently fold in the raspberries until evenly distributed.
  11. Prepare for baking: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  12. Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  13. Rest cake: Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Make the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, reserved lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
  15. Glaze cake: Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and allow it to set.
