Ingredients:

  • 1 c. flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1/2 c. butter, softened
  • 1 T. confectioner's sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly butter or oil a 9-inch springform pan. Dust with flour and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until blended. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat until well mixed.

Pour batter into springform pan and spread evenly. In a bowl, lightly mix the raspberries with some flour (about 1 teaspoon), sugar (about 1 tablespoon) and lemon zest.
