Method
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut a round piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan. Spray the pan with flour baking spray, place the cut parchment round in the pan, then spray again.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, beat together the butter and 2/3 cup sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, then add the egg and beat until incorporated.
- At low speed, combine the flour mixture with the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter the raspberries over the top of the batter, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert the cake to remove it from the pan, remove the parchment paper, and place the cake right side up on a wire rack. Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 more minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
This cake is perfect served warm, and you can substitute blueberries or blackberries if raspberries are not available.
