Ingredients

This delicious, decadent Lemon Raspberry Layer Cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion, but especially for summer. You will need:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons lemon extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • Lemon cream cheese frosting (see below)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in lemon extract. Beat in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Gently fold in raspberries.

Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

To assemble the cake, place one layer on a cake plate. Spread with a layer of frosting. Top with second layer, and spread with another layer of frosting. Top with remaining layer. Spread remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

In a medium bowl, cream together 4 ounces softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup softened butter. Beat in 1 teaspoon lemon extract and 4 cups confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.
