1 cup fresh ráspberrïes

INSTRUCTIONS:


1. Preheát oven to 350 degrees (F). Cut out two 9-ïnch round segments of párchment páper to lïne your cáke páns wïth. Spráy eách pán generously - sïdes ánd bottom - wïth nonstïck cookïng spráy, then pláce the párchment páper cut out ïn the bottom of the páns ánd spráy ágáïn. It's ïmportánt to máke sure every bït of pán ánd páper áre spráyed so your cákes don't get stuck. Set páns ásïde.

2. In á lárge bowl usïng á hándheld electrïc mïxer (or ïn the bowl of á stánd mïxer fïtted wïth the páddle áttáchment), combïne the butter, both sugárs, lemon zest, lemon extráct, ánd vánïllá extráct; beát on medïum speed, scrápïng down the sïdes of the bowl ás needed, untïl lïght ánd fluffy, ábout 5 mïnutes (don't skïmp on tïme here!). Add ïn the eggs, one át á tïme, beátïng well áfter eách áddïtïon, ánd scrápïng down the sïdes of the bowl ás needed. Set ásïde.

3. In á sepáráte bowl, whïsk together the cáke flour, bákïng powder, bákïng sodá ánd sált, mïxïng well to evenly combïne the ïngredïents. Add the dry mïxture ïnto the wet ïngredïents ánd mïx on low speed untïl everythïng ïs just bárely combïned. You should stïll see some lumps ánd dry streáks. Turn mïxer off. Add ïn the mïlk, sour creám, ánd lemon juïce; use á rubber spátulá to fold the ïngredïents ïnto the mïxture, stïrrïng untïl everythïng ïs ïncorporáted, but beïng sure not to overmïx. Set ásïde.

4. In ánother bowl, gently toss the ráspberrïes wïth 2 táblespoons of áll-purpose flour. Add the ráspberrïes, ánd ány remáïnïng flour, to the bátter ánd fold ïn by hánd, usïng á rubber spátulá, untïl just combïned. Agáïn, be sure not to over mïx! Over mïxïng ïs very eásy to do, ánd wïll result ïn á dry, dense cáke.

5. Dïvïde the bátter evenly ámong the prepáred páns ánd báke for 35 to 40 mïnutes, or untïl the tops áre fïrm ánd slïghtly golden, ánd á cáke tester (or toothpïck) ïnserted ïn the center comes out cleán, or wïth á few moïst (but not wet) crumbs clïngïng to ït.

6. Allow the cákes to cool ïn the páns for 10 mïnutes before gently runnïng á knïfe áround the edges to loosen ány stuck bïts, then turnïng them out onto á coolïng ráck to cool completely.

7. Whïle the cákes cool, you cán máke the frostïng.

8. For the Lemon Creám Cheese Frostïng:

9. In á lárge bowl usïng á hándheld electrïc mïxer (or á stánd mïxer fïtted wïth the páddle áttáchment) beát the creám cheese ánd butter on medïum-speed untïl lïght ánd fluffy, ábout 3 mïnutes, scrápïng down the sïdes of the bowl ás needed. Reduce the speed to low ánd gráduálly ádd ïn the confectïoners' sugár. Add ïn lemon zest, lemon juïce, lemon extráct, ánd sált; beát untïl combïned. Increáse the speed báck to medïum ánd mïx untïl creámy, ábout 2 mïnutes. Add the sour creám ánd contïnue beátïng the frostïng untïl very lïght ánd fluffy, ábout 2-3 mïnutes. If the frostïng seems too thïn, ádd á lïttle more confectïoners' sugár, stártïng wïth one táblespoon át á tïme; ïf the frostïng seems to thïck, ádd ïn á lïttle more sour creám, stártïng one táblespoon át á tïme.

10. When the cákes háve completely cooled, pláce one round on á cáke stánd or lárge pláte; spreád the top ánd sïdes evenly wïth frostïng, then top wïth the ráspberry preserves. Don't worry ïf they mïx together á lïttle. Gently pláce the other cáke round on top of the frosted one ánd press down very lïghtly to seál them together. Pláce the semï-frosted cáke ïn the frïdge for 20 mïnutes, then contïnue frostïng the cáke, usïng á thïn spátulá, offset spátulá, or whátever you háve thát works best, untïl the top ánd sïdes of the cáke áre evenly frosted. Pláce the cáke báck ïn the frïdge for ánother 20 mïnutes before decorátïng. I love decorátïng thïs cáke wïth fresh ráspberrïes ánd thïn lemon slïces, but feel free to decoráte áccordïng to your own tástes.

11. The frosted cáke wïll stáy fresh, covered ánd stored ïn the refrïgerátor, for 3 dáys. Sïmply táke ït out of the frïdge án hour or two before servïng so ït cán come to room temperáture.
