Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries or 12 oz. package frozen raspberries

For the Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Sift flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Cream butter; add sugar gradually and cream until fluffy.
  • Add the egg and beat well.
  • Mix the vanilla extract into the milk.
  • Alternately add the milk and dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture.
  • Pour into greased 9x13 inch pan.
  • Sprinkle the raspberries on top of the cake.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.

For the Glaze

  • Mix together sugar, butter, milk and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  • Pour glaze over cake while still warm.

Notes

  1. Even Raspberry Distribution: When sprinkling the raspberries over the cake batter, aim for even distribution to ensure every slice of cake has a delicious burst of raspberry flavor. You can gently press the raspberries into the batter to help them adhere and sink slightly into the cake as it bakes.
  2. Test for Doneness: To ensure the cake is baked to perfection, use a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it, the cake is ready. Be cautious not to overbake, as it can lead to a dry cake texture.
  3. Warm Glaze Application: For a smooth and glossy glaze, pour it over the cake while it's still warm. This allows the glaze to slightly melt into the cake, enhancing its flavor and creating a beautiful finish. Make sure to evenly distribute the glaze over the entire surface of the cake for consistent sweetness in every bite.
