  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  10. Spread the raspberry preserves between the cake layers, and frost with Swiss meringue buttercream.
  11. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

For lighter texture, ensure butter is at room temperature. Store leftover cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
