Raspberry Cake with Lemon Buttercream

My Raspberry Cake recipe with lemon buttercream is made with yogurt, fresh raspberries, and lots of lemon juice for an old fashioned from-scratch layer cake that’s perfect for birthdays and special occasions, or any time you want to pamper yourself!

This recipe is inspired by European style cakes, it has a moist, dense texture, and it’s not over the top sweet. The berries add just the right fruity element, and the frosting pulls it all together with a burst of tartness.

Ingredients:

• 9 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• zest of 1 lemon
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup plain greek yogurt (you can use vanilla yogurt as well)
• 1 1/2 cups raspberries (I like to use frozen berries)
