Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and vanilla - this is easier to do in a stand mixer, if you have one. The cottage cheese will remain lumpy, which is fine.
  4. Use a rubber spatula to fold dry flour mixture into the wet egg mixture. Fold in the melted butter. Gently fold in most of the raspberries, reserving 1/4 cup.
  5. Use rubber spatula to carefully spread batter into the greased/lined cake pan evenly. Place the remaining 1/4 cup raspberries over the top and lightly press them in just a bit.
  6. Bake 55-60 minutes or just until toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few tender crumbs attached - not completely clean. Let cake cool at room temp 30-60 minutes before removing from pan.

Notes

  •  
  • If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating. We ❤️ hearing from you! 
  • Join our Free Recipe Club and get our newest, best recipes each week!
  • Cake is delicious when made ahead. If you bake it a day ahead of time, simply wrap airtight and store at moderate room temp. Can also be frozen in airtight container for a couple of weeks.
  • Make sure not to skip the parchment paper in your cake pan. It makes all the difference when getting your cake out of the pan.
  • Be sure not to overmix ingredients. The cottage cheese will still be lumpy which is totally fine. You won't even be able to tell it's in there when it bakes.
  • If you really want to splurge, serve Easy Raspberry Cake with a scoop of Easy Vanilla Ice Cream and a generous spoonful of Stabilized Whipped Cream.
