- Use bottled lemon juice as it gives a more intense lemony flavour than fresh juice. If using a food processor to beat butter and sugar use the beater attachment and process very well before adding Large eggs. The more the mix is beaten between additions of egg the lighter the cake will be. The mix will curdle if Large eggs are added too quickly. Add in a little flour if this happens. The weight of the fruit may make it sink towards the bottom of the cake but it will still taste delicious. Other berries such as blackberries loganbemes and blackcurrants can be used in the cake. aga tip: to defrost frzn raspberries place them on a plate in the simmering oven for 10 min till almost thawed. For an unusual summer birthday cake this recipe can also be cooked in a 200mm round tin.
