Celebrating family traditions with a Raspberry Butter Cake. Holidays are a special time when recipes are a way to go down the memory lane, remember those who are not with us, and to continue on the path of making new memories.

My family has recipes to live for. But in those times, my grandmas and mom prepped those delicious foods by memory. Growing up in a family where it was so natural to involve kids in the cooking preparation process, I memorized a ton of recipes without knowing it!

Now, I realize that I need to pour all those delicious gems that were prepared, baked, cooked in many ways for decades within the family, onto some sort of preservation format. This blog is a great way to do it./p>

Here it is one of my favorites – Raspberry Butter Cake Recipe. My grandmother used to make it in the morning. By the time all kids were up, a warm aroma of fresh raspberries and vanilla flavor of the baked dough was penetrating every cell of the house. Make it in your kitchen and indulge all your tastes in this historic recipe.

Raspberry Benefits for Your Body and Skin

Did you know that raspberries contain natural nitrates that turn into Nitric Oxide once we consume the berries?

You may shrug this off as one of the trivial things. However, Nitric Oxide is one of the vital ingredients that our body would die without.

To encourage you to eat more of raspberries and other foods rich in natural nitrates, know this. Skin benefits tremendously from having the ample amounts of Nitric Oxide as it brings more blood flow rich in oxigen. And what happens next is this. Once your cells receive all the necessary food and release toxins and by-products, the exchange produces the cells that provide a stronger immunity to the body and beautiful skin.

Check out this post on the foods rich in natural nitrates that you can include into your diet, plus you will learn about Nitric Oxide skin care products.

Modern Changes to the Traditional Raspberry Cake

I have made some small changes to the recipe like substituting whole wheat flour to the almond flour. Adding wheat germ to the recipe – it’s only 1/4 of the cup – this raspberry dessert cake gets a healthy doze of vitamin E which is a strong antioxidant and folic acid. So, we’ve got a dessert with a better, healthier profile for our family celebrations.

Fresh raspberries add to the fluffy delicacy of the almond flour

You can use either raw variety of wheat germ or its toasted variety. It does not make a big difference in taste.

This moist raspberry cake has almond flour as the main ingredient. It is really good either fresh off the grill or after it is aged after a few days. I adore this simple and easy enough to bake recipe.

If you love fresh raspberries, take a look at this breathtaking Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes that were specifically designed to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The above cupcakes have the best of the ingredients, like arrowroot and almond flour and unsweetened cocoa powder. A truly clean profile for a dessert recipe.

Kitchen Gadgets and Tools for Baking Pies and Cakes

Here are some of the baking tools and gadgets I keep in the kitchen. There’s always a way out in case you miss this or that baking tool!

– Silicone spatula – these are durable and great for baking, cooking, mixing. You’ll get 4 in one set!
