Description
A delicious and easy recipe for a Lemon Raspberry Loaf that combines the tartness of lemon with the sweetness of fresh raspberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 190 grams regular flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 113 grams soft unsalted butter
- 200 grams white sugar
- 2 big eggs
- Zest from 1 whole lemon, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla
- 120 grams plain yogurt
- 125 grams raspberries, fresh, with extra for topping
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Turn oven on to 175°C. Grease a 23 x 13 cm loaf tin with butter and dust with flour, then put it aside.
- Grab a bowl and stir together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Put it aside for now.
- In your biggest bowl, beat the soft butter with sugar until it’s light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes works best.
- Drop in eggs one by one, mixing after each one. Stir in the lemon zest, juice, and vanilla until they’re just mixed in.
- Switch between adding flour mix and yogurt to your butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Stir just enough to mix it all together. Don’t overdo it!
- Carefully fold the raspberries into your batter, trying not to break them up.
- Pour all the batter into your ready tin and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes. It’s done when you stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean.
- Leave the bread in the tin for 10 minutes, then take it out and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- When it’s totally cool, sprinkle powdered sugar on top and add some fresh raspberries if you want.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh raspberries.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
- This loaf can be stored at room temperature for a few days.
