A delightful lemon raspberry pound cake that combines zesty lemon and sweet-tart raspberries for a refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients alternating with sour cream.
  4. Fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  • Check for doneness at the 50-minute mark.
