Raspberry Slice


Raspberry is a very sour type of fruit and is definitely not my favourite. But last week when I saw some very fresh and bright red raspberries in the market, I just bought one punnet home and kept it in the refrigerator for two days. Actually I wanted to make raspberry cheesecake but lazy to get out of my house to get more of it as the weather was very hot that made me sick. So I quickly use them to make raspberry slice just in case they turn bad and send to Mr. Bin eventually. This is a very small recipe as only two eggs were used and it was quite soft. If you like sour fruit cake, this is for you otherwise use the cake recipe and add blueberries or strawberries if you prefer. Hope you have a wonderful day.






Raspberry Slice
    Ingredients:
    120g Fresh raspberries
     80g Butter, softened
     80g Sugar
     2 Eggs (about 70g each)
     3 tsp Lemon juice
     1 tsp Lemon zest
     1 tsp Vanilla extract
     2 tbsp Natural yoghurt/Sour cream
     120g Plain flour
     1 tsp Baking powder
     1/8 tsp pinch of salt
     60g Fresh milk

     Methods:
  • Line a 7 inch (7 x 7 x 2) square cake pan all sides up, set aside
  • Sieve flour, baking powder and salt together, add lemon zest into and mix them well, set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add 2 tbsp natural yoghurt or sour cream, mix well. Add eggs, one at a time. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract until well blended.
  • Add flour mixture and milk alternately into creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
  • Gently fold in the raspberries into the creamed mixture, mix well and pour into the prepared cake pan. Bake at preheated oven 180C for about 30 minutes or when skewer inserted into cake and comes out clean.
  • Remove cake from oven and set to cool for 10 minutes then unmould, leave to cool completely. Cut cake into 8 or 12 equal slices and dust some icing sugar or snow powder on top .

Enjoy!

  13. Raspberry is definitely one of my favorite fruits. Mmm....when they are in season, they taste sweet n sour which is just great. The sourness cut thru the sweetness of the cake I love this.
    Very nice afternoon tea cake.

    1. I think better to buy the frozen one from jam from PH, 500g for $11.50. The fresh one can add into salad too.

      Congratulations to you again, Irene :)

    1. Anne, I bought at $5.40 for less than 200g for the fresh raspberry while the frozen one was $11.50 for 500g. I think I'll use the frozen raspberry to make jam or ice cream.
      BTW I love your Japanese cheesecake, looks so yummy :)
