2 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs and mix in melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients gently; fold in fresh raspberries.
Divide batter between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool before frosting with your favorite icing.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try incorporating raspberry puree into the frosting.
Substitute half the all-purpose flour with almond flour for added nuttiness.
