Ingredients
  

  • - 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • - 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • - 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • - ⅓ cup white sugar
  • - ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • - ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • - ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • - ½ cup sour cream
  • - 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - 1 egg
  • - ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • - ¼ cup sifted confectioners' sugar
  • - 1 teaspoon milk
  • - ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 8-inch round cake pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, combine raspberries and brown sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix flour, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine sour cream, melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.
  4. Spoon 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the batter. Spoon the remaining batter over the raspberry mixture. Top with sliced almonds.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
  6. In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well. Drizzle the glaze over the cake. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

- Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender texture.
- Substitute other berries or nuts for a variation in flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your preference by adding more or less confectioners' sugar.
