Sophie's lemon and raspberry cake
- 200 grams softened butter
- 350 grams self raising flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 350 grams caster Sugar
- 4 Eggs, beaten
- 12 tbsp milk (whole is best)
- 1 grated rind of two medium sized lemons
- 1 juice of 1 lemon
- 200 ml double/heavy cream
- 1/2 fresh raspberries
- 1 tbsp raspberry jam
- 6 tbsp raspberry jam (separate from the other amount).
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cup icing sugar
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 fresh raspberries
- 1 dried raspberries
- Preheat oven to 160C.
- To make the cake: mix the cake ingredients together, mixing as you go.
- Split between two greased tins and bake for 35 or until a skewer comes out clean, turning them around half way through.
- To make the cream centre: Whisk the cream until is becomes stiff.
- Add your raspberries and 1 tablespoon of jam, and mix until blended.
- Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- To make the frosting: Blend the ingredients together in order until smooth.
- Once mixed, cover and refrigerate until needed.
- When the cake is done, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Once cool, even out the tips of the cakes so they are flat.
- Cover one side if one cake with your approx 6 tablespoons of jam.
- On the other cake, cover one side with your cream.
- Place one cake on the other so the jam and cream are sandwiched together in the middle.
- Apply your frosting to the outside.
- I chose to frost the sides, too.
- Decorate your cake with raspberries and dried raspberries.
- Enjoy!
