                Excellent recipe!!!
                I’m not a baker, per say, but I am quite experienced in the kitchen. Our family practices a very healthy diet but With college boys in and out of our house daily I found a need to have more desserts on hand to offer.
                This cake is super moist and pretty to display as well. I used 2% milk instead of whole milk and everything turned out perfectly! I definitely recommend trying this one!

Lemon Cake with Raspberry-Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2/3 cup whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1/3 cup fresh juice

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, sifted

  • 1/4 ounce freeze-dried raspberries (1/3 cup), finely ground

  • Fresh raspberries, for serving

Directions

For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-inch round cake pan with butter. Line bottom with parchment; brush with butter. Dust with flour, tapping out excess.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another, stir together milk and lemon juice. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter with lemon zest, granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time.

Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with milk mixture, just until no dry flour remains (do not overmix). Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until cake is golden and springs back when gently pressed, about 40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool 20 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack, remove parchment, and let cool completely.

For the Frosting: In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in confectioners’ sugar and freeze-dried berries until smooth.

Spread frosting over top of cake. Decorate with fresh berries. Cake is best served on the same day, but can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.
