Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 large lemon

½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

½ cup buttermilk

1 ½ cups fresh raspberries (can substitute with frozen)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. For extra flavor, you can dust the pan with flour or finely crushed almonds.

    Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Eggs and Flavor: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest, mixing until everything is well combined.

          Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the lemon juice and buttermilk to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth.

            Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

              Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter without breaking them too much.

                Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
