A LOOK AT SOME OF THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE LEMON RASPBERRY BUNDT CAKE:
Real Raspberries: These are essential in this dish and may be used frozen or fresh.
Cake flour: I picked cake flour because it produces a softer textured cake.
Lemon Yogurt: This adds moisture and a hint of lemon flavor to the cake.
Lemon Zest, Lemon Juice, and Lemon Extract: Gives the cake a strong lemon taste.
MIXING METHOD FOR THE LEMON RASPBERRY BUNDT CAKE:
For this one, I used the standard creaming procedure. That involves beating the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, then adding the eggs one at a time and alternating the liquid and dry components.
There is one little difference in that you will save a piece of the batter to add your raspberry puree to, so don’t forget that step.
TIPS & FAQs FOR THE LEMON RASPBERRY BUNDT CAKE:
In this recipe, you may use either frozen or fresh raspberries. I used fresh, but if you use frozen, make sure they are properly thawed.
You don’t have to strain the seeds if you don’t mind them. You will have more puree than you need for the recipe, so just keep that in mind.
If you filter the seeds out (as suggested in the instructions), the quantity of purée remaining should be just what you need for the dish. It creates a nicer cake sans the seeds, in my view.
Cake flour provides the greatest results. It will result in a softer cake texture, but if you can’t find it, you may replace all-purpose flour with the following changes:
Replace one cup of cake flour with one cup of all-purpose flour and two teaspoons of cornstarch for every cup of cake flour called for in the recipe.
You do not want to leave it out. Using lemon yogurt enhances the lemon taste while also providing moisture. If you can’t get lemon yogurt, use plain yogurt instead. You may use either ordinary or Greek yogurt. (I used Greek yogurt with lemon.)
You don’t want to leave out the zest since it adds a lot of lemon flavor to the cake.
You may, however the lemon extract adds some lemon flavor to the cake, so if you leave it out, your cake may not have as much lemon taste as you’d want.
Set it out to come to room temperature rather than melting it.
The batter will be added to the pan in two portions, as specified in the recipe. Make careful to thoroughly stir the batter.

- 16 oz. fresh raspberries (you may use anything between 16 and 18 oz.)
- 4tablespoonsugar
- 2tablespoonlemon juice
For the cake:
- 3cupscake flour
- 1 teaspoonbaking powder
- teaspoonbaking soda
- 1teaspoonsalt
- 1cupbutter, room temperature(two sticks)
- 2cupssugar
- 3eggs
- 1cuplemon yogurt(about 2 small containers)
- cupwhole milk
- 1tablespoonvegetable oil
- 2tablespoonlemon zest(from about two lemons)
- 4 tbsp fresh lemon juice (approximately two lemons)
- 1 teaspoon lemon essence (additional teaspoon may be used for more lemon taste)
- 1 cup seedless raspberry puree, chilled (see above)
- red gel food coloring(optional)
For the glaze:
- 3cupsconfectioners sugar
- 5tablespoonlemon juice
Instructions
For the puree:
- You’ll want to prepare the puree first so it can cool before adding it to the cake batter.
- In a saucepan, combine all of the puree ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until it has reduced and thickened somewhat. (It won’t grow too thick.)
- To remove all of the seeds, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer. (This will need some patience, but it is well worth it.)
- After straining, you should get around a cup of seedless raspberry puree. Chill the puree, covered, until it is at least room temperature or slightly colder. Put it in the fridge for about twenty minutes while you make the cake batter.
For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees after your raspberry puree has cooled or at least risen to room temperature. Set aside a bundt pan that has been well greased and floured.
- Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing basin. Place aside.
- Whisk together the yogurt, milk, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon essence in a separate mixing dish. Place aside.
- until the mixture is fluffy. This will take some time.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter on medium speed until creamy. Mix in the sugar on medium speed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating on medium until incorporated after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the basin and mix for approximately 10 seconds more.
- Mix in a third of the flour mixture on medium until barely incorporated. Beat in half of the liquid mixture until incorporated. Mix in another third of the flour mixture until well mixed. Beat in the remaining half of the liquid mixture, then add the remaining third of the flour mixture and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the basin and mix for another 10-15 seconds.
- Take 2 cups of the batter and place it in a small mixing dish. Whisk together the 2 cups of ordinary cake batter and the cup of cooled, strained raspberry puree. To brighten the color, add roughly two tiny drops of gel red food coloring.
- Half of the standard cake mixture (from the big mixing bowl) should be poured into the prepared bundt pan. The batter should be smooth.
- Smooth the raspberry batter mixture into your pan.
- Smooth the leftover standard cake batter over the raspberry batter.
- Swirl the cake batter using the handle of a wooden spoon. To thoroughly swirl, go around the pan many times. (If you don’t swirl the batter sufficiently, the cake will have huge pockets of raspberry puree and won’t firm up or bake evenly.)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 55-60 minutes.
- When a toothpick is poked into the cake, it should come out with moist crumbs on it.
- Remove from the oven and cool for approximately 25 minutes in the pan on a wire rack before transferring the cake out onto a platter.
- Allow the cake to cool fully before slathering it with glaze.
For the glaze:
- In a mixing basin, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice.
- Examine the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a teaspoon of lemon juice at a time.
- If its too thin, add more confectioners sugar.

FAQs
Does nothing bundt cakes have lemon raspberry?
Our most refreshing taste is created by combining zesty lemon cake with raspberry puree.
Why is nothing bundt cakes so moist?
What Makes a Bundt Cake So Moist? Because the design of a bundt pan exposes more of the cake mix to high temperatures than a standard cake tin, a moist cake mix is required. Because wet ingredients are added to the cake mix to promote consistent cooking, this recipe yields a delightfully moist lemon bundt cake.
Why is a Bundt cake better than a regular cake?
Bundt cakes have numerous distinguishing features that set them apart from other types of cakes: Bundt cake pans feature fluted sides that make the cakes seem exquisite even before they are decorated. Because the pans feature a hole in the centre, the cakes have a donut form. The hole aids in the uniform cooking of the cakes.
Is Bundt cake mix different than regular?
The fundamental distinction between Bundt cake and normal cake is due to the pan itself rather than the contents. Simply said, the form of a Bundt cake is the most important aspect. A cake made in a Bundt pan has a doughnut-like form with a huge hole in the center.
