Ingredients
  

For the Raspberry Lemon Loaf

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour divided
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 to 2 lemons zested and juiced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons oil avocado, olive, or canola
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 1 cup raspberries frozen, not thawed

For the Raspberry Lemon Icing

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1.25 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
 

To Make the Raspberry Lemon Loaf

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour or line a 9X4.5-inch loaf pan (or equivalent). Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Rub the ingredients together between your fingertips until fragrant.
  • Add the softened butter and mix with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Mix in the oil and eggs - one at time. Mix until blended.
  • Add in half of the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Add the milk and ¼ cup lemon juice then mix until smooth.
  • Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to fold the batter together until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, toss the raspberries in the 1 tablespoon of flour.
  • Scoop about ⅓ of the batter into the pan and spread. Sprinkle on about ⅓ of the raspberries. Repeat with the remaining batter and berries, poking down the berries on top to slightly submerge.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake on a wire rack.

To Make the Raspberry Lemon Icing

  • Melt the butter. Add in the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice then stir until smooth.
  • Pop two raspberries (either fresh or thawed) into the icing and slightly crush with a fork. Stir until it turns pink and has little bits of raspberry throughout.
  • Spoon the icing over the top of the cooled cake and serve.
