Ingredients

• 175 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters Buttermilk
• 150 grams Raspberries (fresh or frozen, not thawed)
• 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (or granulated sugar for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease and flour a 23cm (9-inch) round cake pan or line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer to low speed. Gradually add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk in two additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold the raspberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar for a delightful crunch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
