Equipment

  • Kitchen Scale
  • 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) Loaf Pan

Ingredients
 

For the Cake:

  • 210 g (1 ¾ cup) all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 113 g (½ cup) unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 120 g (½ cup) full-fat sour cream room temperature
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 150 g (1 cup) fresh raspberries

For the Glaze:

  • 38 g (¼ cup) fresh raspberries should come out to 1 tbsp of juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 120 g (1 cup) powdered sugar spooned and leveled

Instructions

For the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a couple inches of overhang on each side. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add the sugar and lemon zest. With clean hands, massage the lemon zest and sugar together, about 1 minute. This helps to release the natural oils in the zest.
  • Add the lemon juice, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and almond extract. Whisk until throughly combined, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and gently whisk until just combined. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure no flour is stuck to the bottom. Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to over mix.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 5 minutes before removing from the oven, loosely place a tent of foil over the cake to prevent excess browning.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting it out and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.

For the Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, muddle the raspberries until they turn into a pulp. You can use a fork to do this if you don't have a muddler.
  • Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the raspberry pulp until you get 1 tbsp of raspberry juice out. Discard the seeds.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the raspberry juice, lemon juice, and powdered sugar until the mixture is thick and ribbony.
  • Pour over the cooled loaf cake.
