Raspberry Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake (or Strawberry Orange Cake)

Ingredients 
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour 
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 
  • ½ teaspoon salt 
  • zest of 1 lemon 
  • 1 cup butter, softened 
  • 1 cup sugar 
  • 3 eggs 
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice 
  • 1 (6 oz) container plain Greek Yogurt 
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries 
  • 3 tablespoons flour 
Raspberry Frosting
  • 4 oz cream cheese (half of an 8 oz package), softened 
  • ¼ cup seedless raspberry jam or preserves 
  • 1 cup powdered sugar 
  • 3 tablespoons milk 
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a  bundt pan and set aside. 
  2. In a large bowl, mix together 2¼ cups flour, baking soda, salt and zest from lemon. 
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs and lemon juice. Add to flour mixture, then mix in yogurt. 
  4. In a small bowl, toss fresh raspberries and flour together. Carefully fold them into the cake batter. Pour batter into the bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes (or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean - mine took about 55 minutes). 
  5. Allow cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes and turn out onto a large plate. Let cake cool completely, then drizzle with frosting. 
Frosting instructions:
  1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and raspberry jam together. Add milk and powdered sugar (more or less of each until you reach the consistency you like) and drizzle over the top of the cake.
Have fun and experiment with any combination of berry and citrus fruits.
