Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
-
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
-
Gently fold in 1 cup of the fresh raspberries into the cake batter, reserving the remaining raspberries for topping.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
-
Scatter the remaining raspberries on top of the batter, gently pressing them down just slightly.
-
Bake the Himbeerkuchen in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice the Himbeerkuchen into wedges and serve either plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
