Once again my trusty AWW bible, Bake, has provided me with a delicious, easy, can’t-stuff-it-up cake. I present the buttery and moreish raspberry butter cake that can be made with fresh or frozen berries [I always use frozen but never defrost them before use].
Thank you to the wonderfully wonderful Anna Warr for the gorgeous photos [http://www.facebook.com/AnnaWarrPhotography]
GATHER:
125g diced butter, softened
3/4 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup raspberries
LET’S GET TO IT:
Preheat oven to 180C and grease and line a round 20cm cake tin.
Butter butter and sugar in bowl of electric mixer until light and fluffy and then beat in eggs one at a time.
Stir in milk and flour in two batches.
Fold in 1/4 cup raspeberries.
Spread 3/4 of cake mix into pan and sprinkle with remaining berries then spread remainder of batter over the top.
Bake for between 45-60 mins [depending on oven]. Stand cake in pan 5 minutes, turn top side up onto wire rcak.
When cold sprinkle with sifted icing sugar and decorate with a few extra berries.

Thanks, it is a very yum cake [not overly sweet, I don’t have a sweet tooth]. Happy weekend!
Oh this cake looks so delicious! You can’t go past an AWW recipe book 🙂
Lovely site too, thanks for dropping by GG and leaving a comment xx

Happy weekend x
I love anything with fresh raspberries. It’s my favorite fruit. Such a nice texture with the cake, too. YUM!!
I agree – I love the squish of a berry against the crumb of a cake. Thanks for checking out my blog 🙂
This looks really lovely! Raspberries are my favourite fruit, especially in cakes! 🙂
They look so pretty, especially in cake!
Thanks for popping by 🙂
That looks delicious – now the only thing missing is chocolate 😉
I agree – chocolate makes *everything* better 🙂
This cake looks so delicious and simple, I’m definitely going to give it a try. My mother-in-law has a bunch of AWW magazines from the 80s that she still uses!
Those AWW recipes are the best! There are some crackers from the 80s!
yummm!! this looks sooo good!!
Thanks, it really is delish.
