Raspberry Loaf Cake

July 19th is National Raspberry Cake Day, and we’ve found the perfect way to celebrate! We think that it’s pretty hard to beat the fresh flavor of a juicy raspberry eaten moments after being picked, but we’ve found a close competitor in this recipe for raspberry loaf cake. A mouthwatering mix, sweet raspberry and zesty lemon are the star ingredients in this dessert, and raspberry loaf cake offers a great way to use some seasonal ingredients this summer!

Serve each slice with a generous helping of cream cheese frosting, and top it off with a cluster of chilled raspberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar for garnish.
