Ingredients
Scale
2 cups fresh black raspberries
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in fresh black raspberries.
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure black raspberries are dry before folding them into the batter to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
You can use frozen black raspberries, but thaw them and drain any excess liquid before adding to the batter.
