Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Raspberries — Make sure to use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture. If fresh raspberries are not available, you can use frozen raspberries, but thaw and drain them before using.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cake batter.
  • If you prefer a smoother glaze, strain the raspberry puree before mixing it with the powdered sugar.
  • Serve the cake slightly chilled for a refreshing treat on a warm day.
  • This cake is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature.

Serving advice

Slice the Raspberry Glazed Cake into generous portions and serve it alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. The vibrant pink glaze and the fresh raspberries on top make it an eye-catching dessert that will impress your guests.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, dust the top of the cake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar before adding the raspberry glaze. This will create a beautiful contrast between the white sugar and the pink glaze.
