Fresh raspberries and a lemon glaze brighten up this simple loaf.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1/2 c. (1 stick) Butter, softened
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 (6-oz.) container raspberries
Instructions
- Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour 8 1 ⁄2"-x-4 1 ⁄2" loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a second bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat sugar, butter, cream cheese, and lemon zest until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping side of bowl as needed and beat in vanilla. In two batches, beat in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in raspberries with a spatula.
