  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Should be at room temperature.
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients. Measure out the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Making the Cake

  • In a separate bowl, blend the softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
  • Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated to form a uniform batter.
  • Spread the batter evenly in a greased cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Frosting

  • Combine raspberry puree, powdered sugar, and heavy cream in a mixing bowl, beating until smooth and fluffy.

Frosting the Cake

  • Once cooled, generously frost the top of the cake with raspberry buttercream.
  • Slice into wedges and serve.
