Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake

May 8, 2025

Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake is a light, zesty dessert that combines the bright flavor of lemon with the sweetness of raspberries. The result is a beautifully moist and fragrant cake that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a family gathering or enjoying a quiet afternoon with a cup of tea, this cake is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

To begin, preheat your oven and grease a Bundt pan to ensure easy removal of the cake once it’s baked. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in fresh lemon zest and lemon juice, which will give the cake its signature citrusy tang.

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk (or sour cream for an extra rich texture). Gently fold in fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them. This will add bursts of fruity flavor throughout the cake.

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean—this usually takes about 45-55 minutes, depending on your oven. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For an extra special touch, make a simple glaze by combining powdered sugar, a little lemon juice, and a splash of milk until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over the cooled cake for a sweet, tangy finish.

This Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake is a beautiful and delicious treat with the perfect balance of tart lemon and sweet raspberries. It’s a delightful dessert that will brighten any occasion, whether you’re serving it at a party, enjoying it with your family, or treating yourself to something special.

      I tried this recipe and it was too tangy for my taste. Maybe I’m just not a lemon fan?

    Good but not great, my mom’s recipe is better for sure.

    1. User avatar Twinrova says:

      Nah, I don’t think this can compete if your mom’s is that good. What’s her secret? 😂

      Everyone’s mom has a special touch! But this recipe is pretty nice too.

    I think there’s too much lemon? Kinda overpowered the taste of the raspberries.

    Yikes, the cooking time was way off. Mine took over an hour.

  10. User avatar Ryan Shenlong says:

    Easy recipe! I did it without the raspberries since I didn’t have any, still turned out great!

    It came out kinda dense, not sure if I did it right. I followed the recipe.

    Why didn’t my cake have the nice shape? Ugh, wasn’t pretty at all. Tasted okay tho.

    Lemon and raspberry? I guess that makes sense, but I don’t like citrus!

    1. User avatar rebekah.gleason67 says:

      4 stars
      Totally get that! Citrus can be a bit much if you’re not into it. Maybe try swapping the lemon for vanilla or almond extract instead?

  15. User avatar mathWizard says:

    This is sooo sweet. I prefer less sugar. Next time I’ll tweak it.

    Is sour cream really necessary? I might try yogurt next time.

    1. User avatar Lumberjack says:

      2 stars
      Why would you skip sour cream? It’s there for a reason! You might end up with a dry cake. Just saying!

    2. User avatar Hasimir Fenring says:

      4 stars
      Yogurt should work fine! It just might change the flavor a bit. But sour cream gives it that creamy goodness! 😋

    Meh, didn’t really impress me. I expected more lemon flavor, it was kinda bland.

    1. 4 stars
      I totally get you! Maybe try using more lemon zest next time? It’s super easy to adjust the flavor.

  24. User avatar Michal Boyle Jr. says:

    Why use raspberries? Can’t you just put chocolate in it instead? 🤔

    1. User avatar albert.schumm says:

      5 stars
      Raspberries add a unique tartness that complements the lemon! Chocolate would just be too sweet. 🍰

    2. User avatar Majikthise says:

      3 stars
      But why not mix chocolate and raspberry? That could taste good too! 🤷‍♀️

      Lemon and raspberries? Sounds a bit weird to me. I prefer chocolate anyway.

    This cake is a lie. It didn’t look like the picture at all. 😒

  28. User avatar Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta says:

    I added extra raspberries because why not? Best decision ever! Total game changer!

  29. 1 star
    Cake not good! It burned in oven. Too many eggs, I think. Will not try again.

  30. User avatar gertie.simonis32 says:

    Way too much lemon for me. I think only lemon zest would have been enough. Next time I’ll skip the juice. 🥴

  31. User avatar Renee Nicolas II says:

    4 stars
    Yummy but kinda too sweet. Less sugar would be much better. Overall a good recipe tho! 👌

    1. User avatar tammara.pfeffer says:

      I find it sweet too! Maybe using less sugar next time would make a huge difference. But still delicious, right? 😊

      Bundt cake isn’t all about chocolate! This lemon raspberry one sounds amazing! 🍋❤️

    2. User avatar lane.beer72 says:

    I think lemon is overrated, so I kinda skipped the zest and juice. Why did I even do this recipe? 🤔

    1. User avatar eura.jacobson says:

      I dunno, but this sounds delicious! Maybe you should try again but mix less, it might be good then.

    2. User avatar ambrose.legros84 says:

      You might’ve overmixed for sure! Try mixing until just combined next time. It should help make it lighter. 🍰

      Really? Best cake ever? I bet it’s just okay. I mean, how can it be that great? Sounds a bit overrated to me. 🤔

  45. User avatar porter.jast says:

    I made this for a family gathering, and nobody seemed to like it. They said it was too tart. Should’ve added more sugar, I guess.

    Too many steps for me. I just wanna bake it and eat it. Disappointed.

      Just bake a box cake instead! Way easier and quicker. Who has time for all that fuss?

  47. User avatar rayford.hoppe2013 says:

    I think mixing warm butter and sugar is wrong? Or was it room temp? I just tossed it all in, lol. Still a decent cake.

    1. 3 stars
      I always heard butter should be soft, but who has time for that? If it turned out decent, that’s good enough for me! 😂

    2. 4 stars
      Mixing warm butter and sugar is fine! It makes it fluffier, but I get it if you just tossed it in. Cakes are forgiving sometimes! 😄
