Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups Cake Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt – Plain
Add-ins & Garnish
- 1 cup Fresh Raspberries
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
- Optional: Powdered Sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the batter.
- Add Eggs, Vanilla, and Yogurt: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and plain Greek yogurt, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients evenly.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture and mix until just combined, ensuring not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
- Fold in Raspberries and Lemon Zest: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and lemon zest to distribute the fruit and citrus flavor evenly throughout the batter without breaking the raspberries too much.
- Prepare Bundt Pan: Spray your bundt pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cake after baking.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Carefully pour the prepared batter into the greased bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Cake: Place the bundt pan inside your air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 330°F (165°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick or skewer which should come out clean when done.
- Cool and Dust: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar as desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake, plate it, and serve as a delightful dessert or snack with tea or coffee.
Notes
- Fresh raspberries add a burst of flavor and moisture; avoid frozen to prevent excess liquid in the batter.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model and bundt pan thickness; always check doneness with a toothpick.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure proper creaming and smooth batter texture.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, add a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice alongside the zest.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream if preferred.
- Use a silicone or light-colored metal bundt pan for best air frying results as dark pans can cook faster.
