Lemon-Raspberry Bundt Cake: May Mystery Dish

This gorgeous, ultra moist, Lemon-Raspberry Bundt Cake is sure to wow the crowds.  A made-to-be-married combination of fresh lemon and swirled raspberry puree, it’s a winning dessert!

The end of the month has come, which means it’s time for some more Mystery Dish!  I always really look forward to creating something unique and yummy for this challenge.  It’s so fun!  This time around, Cate @ Chez CateyLou was our gracious host.  The ingredients she selected were as follows:
Raspberries
Peanut Butter Chips
Edamame
Lemon
Yeast
Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
Bacon
Buttermilk
Basil
Zucchini
We were asked to use two.  I incorporated three just for kicks.  Immediately upon scanning this great list, I knew that I wanted to make a buttermilk cake.  I use buttermilk often in my baking, and not only does it lend a wonderful flavor, but it seems to provide a softer, more moist texture as well.
The body of this cake is perfectly dense with a light citrus flavor from the freshly-squeezed lemon juice.  Beautiful dots of pureed red raspberry add a delightful fruity pop to each lucky bite.
Care for the recipe?  I daresay, you should!
{LEMON-RASPBERRY BUNDT CAKE}
1 c. (2 squares) salted butter, softened
2 c. granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. buttermilk
1/3 c. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon extract
2 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 c. fresh raspberries, mashedPreheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Grease and flour a 12.5 cup capacity bundt cake pan. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, lemon extract and lemon juice.  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Alternate between adding flour mixture and buttermilk, starting with the flour and mixing shortly in between.  Then mix until ingredients are completely incorporated.  Mash raspberries with a fork or puree in a blender.  Pour cake batter into bundt pan and spread until even.  Pour raspberry mixture evenly around on top, then, using a butter knife, swirl it into the cake batter.  Bake for approximately 40 minutes.  Check at 35 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center.  Let cool for 10 minutes in pan, then run a sharp knife around the edges, gently turn upside down and carefully remove to a wire cooling rack.  When completely cool, make the glaze.

Glaze:
2 c. confectioner’s sugar
1 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
4 Tbsp. Milk (approximately-add 1 Tbsp. at a time until the desired consistency is reached)

Stir together confectioner’s sugar, lemon juice, and milk (1 Tbsp. at a time), until the desired consistency is reached and mixture is thin enough to drizzle, but not too runny.

*Tip: Make your own buttermilk by adding 1 Tbsp. white vinegar to the bottom of a 1 c. measure, then fill the rest with whole milk.

I have a rather embarrassing confession to make…this is my very first bundt cake!  I’ve been dreaming of making one for years now, but I actually didn’t own a bundt pan until just recently.  I was browsing the cookware aisles of one of my favorite stores (ahem….Target) and my eye caught a cute pink treasure that was just dying to become mine. If you follow me on Instagram, you know what a happy find it was, because I couldn’t help but shout it from the rooftops. 🙂

 

But, can you blame me?  Because look what came of it.  This cake is a show-stopper!  The lightly crusty outer casing conceals a delicious gem inside, just waiting to be revealed.
Ahhh….Lemon-Raspberry Bundt Cake…you had me at bite one!  This cake is a must-make…so summer-y and very impressive-looking!

    Bundt cakes are awesome, love the pretty color from the raspberries. Target can be a dangerous place, especially as a food blogger :) Judging by this cake it was a wise purchase.

    my first pinterest fail! the outside crusted up nicely, but the center didn't bake enough. so when I tried to get it out of the bundt pan, the whole thing fell apart. :( but the taste is great. any idea why this happened?
    • Christine Bell says

      February 21, 2016 at 11:52 pm

      I'm so sorry to hear this, Mary! Did you bake it for at least 40 minutes? Sometimes when I bake bundt cakes it gets a little deceiving because the outside gets nice and brown but the inside still isn't done. Be sure to always check with a toothpick before removing it from the oven because that's the best final test. I hope you'll give it another try and have success with it!
