Lemon Raspberry Yogurt Cake




Source of Recipe


Sandy


List of Ingredients




9 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
zest and juice of one lemon

for the buttercream:
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
zest & juice of 2 lemons
pinch of salt
4 cups powdered sugar

Recipe



To make the cake, preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line two 8" cake pans with parchment paper and set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing after each addition.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and mix until mostly combined. Add the yogurt and mix until combined.

Beat the egg whites to medium peaks and fold into the cake batter. Fold in the raspberries.

Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before icing.

To make the buttercream, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the lemon zest and juice and salt and mix until combined. Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Mix on medium speed for a couple minutes until light and fluffy. If your buttercream is softer than you'd like, you can either add more sugar or chill it for 30 minutes.

** NOTES** I increased the cake recipe by half to make three layers. Also, I used lemon curd between the layers, not the frosting. I just used the frosting for the top and sides.
