Lemon Raspberry Butter Cake
I am not typically a sweets person, so you know that this lemon raspberry butter cake recipe is extra special because I could not stop thinking about it!
I may or may have not been found sneaking a bite or two in the kitchen over the past few days it’s seriously that good.
There’s just something magical about the combination of lemon and raspberries together, especially with this rich and buttery cake.
If you know me, you know typically I’m not a “make it from scratch” cook… and more of a “take help from store bought ingredients” type of cook.
No exception here because I am using the lemon cake mix and also the premade lemon curd that I got from Amazon!

How to make lemon raspberry butter cake
First set two sticks of butter out so they get to room temperature.
Then put the butter in a large bowl along with the lemon cake mix and an egg.
Beat with an electric mixer for a minute or two.

Next, pour 3/4 of the cake batter into a very well greased 8 x 10 baking dish.

Then pour or drizzle 8 ounces of the lemon curd over the batter.
You may need to remove the lid of the lemon curd and microwave for a few seconds, it is easier to drizzle when warm.

1/3 cup of sweetened condensed milk will get drizzled over the lemon curd next.

For the Raspberry part of this dessert I am using a pint of fresh raspberries.
Toss them in a bowl with a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
And let them sit for a few moments before adding them to the cake.

Drop the raspberries over the cake and then put dollops of the remaining cake batter between the raspberries.

This will bake in a 350 degree oven for 38 to 42 minutes.
Keep checking toward the end of cook time, and if you have a different size dish than the 8 x 10 cook time may be different.

A little powdered sugar over top makes it look even prettier!

This lemon Raspberry butter cake is so moist it’s almost impossible to get that perfect piece!

Serve while still slightly warm.
And enjoy the crumbly, ooey gooey-ness of this slightly sweet, slightly tart, 1000% delicious cake.
