- 250 g (8.8oz) plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 115 g (4.1oz) soft butter
- 225 g (7.9oz) caster sugar
- 1 large lemon, finely grated zest and juice
- 2 large free-range eggs
- 100 g (3.5oz) wholemilk natural yogurt
- 25 g (0.9oz) ground almonds
- 200 g (7.1oz) fresh raspberries
- 100 g (3.5oz) granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4.
- Grease and line a 900g loaf tin with non-stick baking paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Cream together the butter and caster sugar in a large mixing bowl for 5 minutes until pale and fluffy, then beat in the lemon zest.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a tablespoon of the sifted flour with the second egg.
- Alternately fold in large spoonfuls of the remaining flour and the yoghurt until the mixture is smooth, then fold in the ground almonds.
- Spoon a third of the cake mixture into the bottom of the loaf tin and scatter over a third of the raspberries.
- Repeat twice more, ending with a layer of raspberries.
- Bake for 4550 minutes until the cake is nicely browned, then cover loosely with foil and bake for a further 2025 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes away clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and leave it to cool for 5 minutes.
- Mix the granulated sugar with the lemon juice, spoon it over the top of the cake and leave it to soak for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the cake from the tin and pop it on a wire rack to cool.
- Peel the paper away from the cake and sprinkle the top lightly with a little more sugar.
- Serve cut into thick slices.
