Transfer raspberries to the batter without the excess flour in the bowl. Fold in with a spatula or wooden spoon carefully. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and bake for about 32-36 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.

Expert Tips for Success

  • You can also use a parchment paper layered 8" (20cm) pan; you will need to adjust the baking time to about 10 minutes longer.
  • Whenever possible, use ripe, fresh raspberries for best results. However, if you don't have fresh fruit available, frozen raspberries work as well.

Raspberry Substitutions

This raspberry cake recipe also works well with other fruits. Either substitute them completely or do a mix of different fruits. Just don't add more than a total of 1 ½ cups (225g) of fruit total. I tested and loved the following substitutions:

  • Blackberries
  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries

How long does it last and how to store it?

You should refrigerate the leftover cake for up to 2 days. It can be eaten cold right out of the fridge or let come to room temperature. Keep in an airtight container.

Can I freeze it?

Yes, you can freeze it. You can freeze all in one piece, or you can slice it into individual pieces depending on your preference. Wrap it with plastic wrap or tin foil then place it in a storage container that it's airtight. It freezes well up to 3 months. To thaw, place on the counter for 1 hour for single pieces and 3-4 hours for the whole cake. You could also thaw it in the fridge overnight.

      Yes, but you need to replace it with either milk, buttermilk, or yogurt. Hope that helps!

    I baked this cake for my sister and she absolutely loved it!! Had 3 pieces in one sitting and she doesn’t have a big sweet tooth, mind you 😉 She asked me if I could make it again for her this weekend- I think that says it all 😉 😍

    Delicious recipe!! The whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a keeper! I used home grown frozen raspberries (made sure to fold them into the batter before they began to thaw and straight into the preheated oven). The frozen raspberries increased the cook time to 45 minutes in my oven. This cake is beautiful and irresistible with the bright splashes of pink. Thanks for the recipe!

      It is possible to bake the batter in a muffin pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes and check with a toothpick.

    Delicious! Added some fresh blueberries because I did not have enough fresh raspberries. Cake is not overly sweet (tasted batter) so I topped with Hippy Pilgrim vanilla sugar.

      Hi, of course! I could think of lemon cream cheese frosting, or maybe a bit of lemon buttercream, or just sweetened whipped cream would fit amazing in my opinion. I hope that helps.
