Lemon and Olive Oil Cake with Raspberries Recipe
My favorite thing about this raspberry cake is its simplicity: it’s made with very few ingredients, and you can have it in the oven in under 15 minutes. What’s more, it’s a great way to use up extra raspberries that are less than perfect — and it keeps well for days.
