Method
 

Cake Making Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, taking care not to crush them too much.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove to cool completely on a wire rack and frost as desired.

Notes

Consider garnishing with additional raspberries before serving for a beautiful presentation.
