How to make Raspberry Lemon Loaf

Tips from the cook

  • Tossing the raspberries in flour stops their juice from bleeding into the batter.
  • Do not overmix once the flour is in, or the loaf turns dense.
  • More icing sugar makes the frosting thicker; a splash of cream turns it into a glaze.
  • Blueberries or blackberries can replace the raspberries. Plain Greek yogurt works with a splash of vanilla.
