Ingredients:
For the base:
- 200 g flour
- 150 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 100 g butter (melted)
- 100 ml milk
- A pinch of salt
For the raspberries:
- 300 g fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of the raspberries)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
For the topping (optional):
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for regular heat or 160°C (320°F) for fan-assisted. Grease a springform pan (24 cm/9-inch) or line it with baking paper.
- Prepare the base:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt.
- Add the eggs, melted butter, and milk. Mix everything together until smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
- Prepare the raspberries:
- Wash the raspberries gently and pat them dry.
- In a small bowl, mix the raspberries with sugar and lemon juice if you want to sweeten them slightly.
- Bake:
- Evenly distribute the raspberries over the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes. Check with a wooden skewer—if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Cool down:
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, remove it from the springform pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Serve:
- Optional: Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
