Lemon Cake with Raspberry Filling

April 4, 2017   |   4 Comments

Easter is only days away and I wanted to share this Lemon Cake with Raspberry Filling recipe with you quickly so you have time to run out and get everything you need to make it.  Seriously, it’s that good!  It’s such a spring dessert that it’s perfect for Easter.

It’s no secret that I love everything and anything lemon, I might have a slight problem if you can call a lemon addiction a problem.  Nah, it’s a fruit and fruit is good for you.  Which means that lemon cake is good for you?  Ok, I’m grasping but seriously people this cake is amazing and it’s homemade!  Check out the recipe!

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Raspberry filling – to use later, when building your cake. (I used store bought raspberry pie filling, just to save time. It still tasted excellent!)

Instructions

Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2 – Grease two 8 inch round pans and set aside.

Step 6 – In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.

Step 7 – Next, mix the lemon juice, buttermilk and vanilla in a third bowl.

Step 8 – Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures to the butter and sugar and blend well.

Step 9 – Divide the batter into the two cake pans and bake for 35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

Step 10 – Flip the cakes out of the pans and let them cool before frosting the cake.

Step 11 – Place the first cake on your tray and add a layer of the raspberry filling.

Step 12 – Top with the second cake and frost the entire cake with the lemon buttercream frosting. Enjoy!
