This is the best cake for summer because of the combination of sweet raspberries and tart lemons.
Combining the two fruits in this moist decadent cake will have your guests begging for more.
The frosting is smooth and creamy with a hint of lemon.
Whether you are having a big party or an intimate dinner with guests, I guarantee everyone will rave about this raspberry lemon cake!
I am joining some friends today as we share some of our favorites summer recipes, so be sure to read all the way to the bottom of this post to get those links!
Not only is this cake delicious, but it is beautiful with the lemon slice and raspberries on top.
You can arrange them any way you’d like!
When you slice into this 2 layer cake , you will see bits of raspberries among the cake and frosting, which also creates a beautiful presentation.
Don’t forget you can access all my recipes by clicking on the recipes tab at the top of this page, or here.Â
Before you frost the cake, be sure to let both layers cool completely on a wire rack.
Place one layer on a cake plate, frost the top generously, then add the second layer before frosting the entire cake.
I find an offset spatula is the best tool to frost the sides and top.
Once it is all frosted simply decorate the top with your fresh fruit and serve!
I like to keep my cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
