Ingredients
- 1½ cups (180 g) flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 2 eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) buttermilk
- 1½ cups (225 g) raspberries
Steps
- Preheat oven to 180 °C (356 °F).
- Grease an 20 cm × 20 cm (7.9 in × 7.9 in) square pan with cooking spray or softened butter. Line the pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend over the edges of the pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using a stand or hand mixer, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Once well-incorporated, whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the egg yolk, then vanilla extract and buttermilk.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until all the flour is well mixed in. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Add the raspberries evenly over the top and generously sprinkle the cake with sugar.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. If using a regular oven, turn the cake halfway through.
- Let the cake cool in the pan over a wire rack for 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift the cake out. Let it cool completely. Serve it with dollops of whipped cream.
