Ingredients

For the Cake:

For the Raspberry Lemon Swirl:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest (zest of half a lemon)
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, lightly mashed with a fork

Instructions

Make the Cake:

  • Lightly mist an 8-inch diameter cake pan with non-stick spray.
  • Stir the yeast into the warm milk and set aside to proof.
  • Place the flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl, and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • When the yeast has dissolved and the mixture looks foamy, add in the oil, vanilla, and egg, whisking with a fork to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Pour the bread batter into the prepared pan, and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Make the Raspberry Lemon Swirl:

  • In a small bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and lemon zest. (Mixture will be crumbly.)
  • Sprinkle an even layer over the top of the bread dough.
  • Spoon the mashed raspberries on top, and swirl into the dough.
  • Press the whole berries in, and place in a cold oven.
  • Set the oven to 350 degrees F and bake until the surface is lightly golden, the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, and the center is set (about 45 minutes).

Make the Glaze:

  • Stir the powdered sugar and buttermilk together in a small bowl, and drizzle over the cooled cake.
