Ingredients
Raspberry Loaf Cake
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened - 1 stick
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs brought to room temperature
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt low-fat or full-fat - not non-fat
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 oz raspberries around 1 ½ cups total
White Chocolate Icing
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 tablespoon raspberry jam
- lemon zest
Instructions
Raspberry Loaf Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper letting it hang over the sides for easier removal or grease with Pam or butter.
- Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy - about 3 minutes
- Add the eggs one at a time and beat on low speed until incorporated.
- Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Add it to the batter in two portions.
- Fold in the raspberries and pour into the prepared loaf pan. Save a few raspberries if desired for garnishing the loaf.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
White Chocolate Icing
- Heat the chocolate chips and milk together until melted. Mix until silky smooth and pour over the loaf.
- Swirl the raspberry jam over the icing and zest the lemon on top.
- Wait until the loaf cools before slicing.
Notes
- Creaming the butter and sugar long enough is important in order for the loaf to have a fine crumb and light, fluffy texture!
- If you want more of a glaze rather than an icing, add more milk.
- Heat the milk and chocolate together; otherwise, adding the cold milk to the melted chocolate will cause the icing to clump up.
- The chocolate will harden quickly so if adding jam, swirl it on right after icing.
