Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in lemon zest and lemon juice until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then fold it into the wet mixture.
  5. Slowly alternate adding milk and flour mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Fold in the raspberries gently to keep them intact.
