• 份量: 12 servings
• 准备时间: 10 minutes
• 总时间: 55 minutes

配料

1/2 cup butter (room temperature)

1 cup granulated sugar

1½ cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

2 eggs (room temperature)

1/4 cup vanilla greek yogurt

1/4 tsp pure lemon extract

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp lemon zest

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup fresh raspberries

1/4 cup cream cheese (room temperature)

1¼ cup confectioners sugar

1 tbsp lemon juice

步骤

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 °F.

Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, then gently spray with cooking oil. (This helps to remove the loaf after it's done baking).

To a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using a hand mixer until it's smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.

Add the sugar and beat until well combined into the butter.

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.

Add the vanilla greek yogurt, pure lemon extract, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla and mix on low speed until well combined.

Add the flour, baking powder and salt.Mix until combined, don't over-mix.

Gently fold in the raspberries, keeping in mind If you over-mix the raspberries into the batter it will turn the batter slightly pink.Sammy's tip: toss the fresh raspberries in a small amount of flour (about a tbsp) before folding them into the batter. The flour creates a barrier that absorbs the moisture released by the berries during baking, keeping the juices from bleeding into the batter.

Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.Sammy's tip: if your loaf is browning too quickly on the sides and the middle still needs to cook, place a piece of tin foil on the top which will prevent the sides from continuing to brown.Once cooked, remove the raspberry lemon loaf from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

Prepare the frosting by adding the cream cheese to a medium sized bowl.Beat on medium speed for about 1 minute, just to allow it to soften.

Next, add the confectioners sugar and lemon juice and mix until well combined.Sammy's tip: if you want a thicker frosting, add more confectioners sugar. If you want a thinner frosting (more of a glaze) add a splash of cream.

Spread the frosting evenly over top of the loaf, slice and enjoy.
