A light and delicious lemon raspberry bundt cake topped with a creamy vanilla glaze drizzled on top. This simple bundt cake is soft, refreshing, sweet from raspberries, and bursting with the scent of lemons! Kissing all my self control goodbye in 3…2…1. {Bundt} cake all up in your face. And just like that, we have the springiest bundt cake around. I’ve only been waiting forever to make you this springtime favorite of mine. How exciting is it to incorporate fresh, juicy berries together with lemon zest and folding it in with an almost guilt-free vanilla-scented bundt cake. I feel like I’ve died and gone to cake heaven. This raspberry bundt cake is anything but ordinary! I’ve topped it off with vanilla glaze so yes, technically, one could say you might feel a little guilty eating it, but glaze is GLAZE! Growing up the only flavor I honestly, truly cared for was chocolate. No surprise there, right? But now, as I come gulp each day closer to the big 3-0, I’m realizing that there is so much more to love out there in a dessert. Hello, fresh fruit! Man, you taste so good in cakes. And raspberries in a bundt cake is truly divine. It’s lightly sweet from the raspberries with a pow from the lemons. Just enough to give you some brightness without making you all crossed eyed from the sourness. The lightly sweetened cake combine with the vanilla glaze is money. When it comes to fruity desserts I love a balance of sweetness and tart. This raspberry bundt cake is in perfect harmony. If this raspberry bundt cake recipe looks vaguely familiar to you, it’s because it’s heavily inspired by these muffins. I love making breakfasty type cakes that pair beautifully with a steaming cup of coffee. Especially if it’s a bundt cake that’s almost cloud-like with bursts of lemon zest and studded with juicy berries. And if that isn’t enough to convince you, let me also say that you don’t need a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this recipe. Just 2 bowls and a whisk will do. For the softest cake crumb, I like to combine melted coconut oil with greek yogurt (or sour cream) for the perfect cake-like texture. Something about these ingredients makes this cake sensationally soft and, forgive me for lack of a better word, but ultra-moist. The eggs also help add additional tenderness to the finished cake. There is nothing worse than a dry bundt! A soft, creamy glaze on top of this raspberry bunt cake takes it to new heights. Just a hint of confectioners’ sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, a few tablespoons of heavy cream, and a little vanilla extract. Anees doesn’t LOVE fruity desserts but even he raved about this bright raspberry bundt cake. Unless it’s stuffed with, covered in, dipped in, or sprinkled with chocolate, the man DOES NOT rave about it. So i’m thinking this is definitely a sign that you need to make this.

Use the greek yogurt, sour cream, and eggs at room temperature so that the coconut oil doesn’t solidify.
