-Check out Vegan Rescue’s Instagram Page for a video of this recipe-
This raspberry cake is incredible! Moist and perfectly sweet.
Raspberry and Lemon are the perfect combination together, the tangy zing in this recipe is perfect for breakfast or brunch with coffee. It also makes for a great dessert.
I created this recipe for National Raspberry Cake Day, which is this coming Monday (07/31/23). Since we have been enjoying this cake for the last couple of days, and I couldn’t wait to share. I hope you try this one.
Enjoy!

Author: Vegan Rescue/Jessica Williams
Ingredients:
Raspberry Layer
12oz Fresh Raspberries, rinsed
2/3 Cup Sugar (I used raw cane sugar)
1 Lemon (Juice and Zest)
Cake
1 1/ 2 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Salt
1/ 2 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/ 2 Cup Non-Dairy Milk
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1/ 2 Cup Applesauce
Crumb Topping
1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar
2/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/3 Cup Sugar (I used raw cane sugar)
3 Tbsp Vegan Butter (I used Earth Balance)
Directions:
-Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
-In a small-medium bowl add raspberries, sugar and lemon juice/zest. Mix together and set aside.
-In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the cake layer (flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar). To this add the remaining wet ingredients (vinegar, milk, vanilla and applesauce). Mix to combine without overmixing batter.
-For the crumb topping layer, in a small bowl combine all ingredients together. I find it best to use my hands for this step, so you can squeeze the flour/sugar in with the butter to form crumbs.
-Grease an 11×7 inch baking pan and grease with additional vegan butter (Earth Balance).
-Pour cake batter mixture into pan first, then add raspberry layer. I use my hands to distribute the raspberry mixture evenly.
-Top with crumb layer and bake for 30 minutes.
-Cool completely before serving.
-Enjoy!
Note: I store leftovers in the refrigerator. You can remove from refrigerator and allow it to rest, then serve at room temperature. Or I prefer to place in microwave for 30 seconds and it is pure perfection!
