A light and fruity recipe: the Lemon, raspberry and whipped cream cake ! In addition to being very easy to make, it is really delicious with its fresh fruit and its thin layer of delicious whipped cream sprinkled with toasted coconut...
When the first ones arrive raspberries of the season, I always have plenty of ideas in mind to use them in baking. Pies, cakes, mousses... There are plenty of options! Here I wanted a very soft cake that is easy to share and transport.
How to make this lemon raspberry cake?
The basis of this recipe is a lemon cake. We use its juice and zest to bring the tangy side as we like. You can also adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.
When filling the cake mold, do not pour the dough all at once. We pour a first part of the dough then we place the raspberries fresh before pouring the rest of the batter and putting in a hot oven.
One can prepare the whipped cream Meanwhile: a simple, slightly sweetened whipped cream made with whipping cream. You will have to wait until the cake is cold before spreading the whipped cream on top. I added a little toasted grated coconut because I love this taste (and it goes so well with raspberry). All that's left is to decorate with raspberries extra and you have your dessert!
Possible variations on this recipe
Instead of raspberries, you can use fresh strawberries in this recipe. It works well with lemon as well.
You can also substitute the classic whipped cream with a coconut whipped cream (made from coconut cream).

Nice thank you for your return!
Hello, thank you for this recipe, which I want to try this weekend, but with strawberries. One question, if we use strawberries should we cut them in half or is it better to use them whole? These are medium-sized gariguettes
Thanks in advance! And congratulations for your blog, I have never missed a single one of your recipes!
Hello Val, inside cakes in general I advise you to cut the strawberries: it will be easier to cut the pieces and also to eat the cake afterwards. See you soon :)
Excellent recipe. Easy to make and super moist.
Thank you very much Sandra! See you soon :)
