This Raspberry Lemon Bread is so easy to make. Crispy edges, and very moist inside. Every bite with a delicious berry.
We have so many raspberry bushes at the moment, and they are bursting with fruits. Berries are not very common here in Paraguay, so it is a joy to have so much of it and for free.
My oldest son and I are a little obsessed with raspberries. Each raspberry harvested, he thinks it should be saved for his favorite white chocolate raspberry pie. It’s a bit difficult to convince him that he should eat a little while he picks.
The truth is that I don’t bake much with raspberries. I keep them for our favorite pie that, as you already read, is our favorite dessert. But trying to be more adventurous with our raspberries, I decided to give it a go and make this quick bread.
For this raspberry bread, we’re using oil and whipping cream. Oil gives this bread a light texture, and the cream keeps it moist.
If you are using frozen raspberries, there is no need to defrost them first. Just follow the recipe like it is.
Don’t skip the lemon drizzle, it highlights the sweetness of the raspberries.
Simple and delicious! grab a cup of coffee and enjoy a slice.
