Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups flour
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Grease and line with parchment paper a 8 x 8 inch baking tin. Set aside.
- Remove 2 tablespoons of the flour and set aside. Sift together remaining flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter on high speed for about a minute. Add all the sugar at once and mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 -3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix in until incorporated into the batter. Add vanilla and mix until combined, just about 20 seconds.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir 1/2 of the the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined and there are no lumps. Don't over mix. Add all the milk and stir to combine. Then add remaining flour and stir until it's combined.
- Gently toss the raspberries in the two tablespoons of flour. Stir in the raspberries (reserving about 1/4 cup). The raspberries will break apart and the batter will be a little pink. That's okay.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Smooth over with an offset spatula and scatter over remaining raspberries.
- Bake between 18 - 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and leave to cool down.
- Cut into 16 small cake squares or 9 bigger pieces of cake. Store in an airtight container for about 2 days.
