Ingredients
  

Crumb Topping

  • 90 grams Flour (about ¾ cup)
  • 66 grams Sugar (about ⅓ cup)
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 5 Tbsp Butter, cold and cut into small cubes

Cake

  • 180 grams Flour (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ¾ cup Plain Unsweetened Yogurt (can use Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ½ cups Raspberries, fresh or frozen

Lemon Drizzle

  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • Pinch Salt
  • ½ Tbsp Milk or Milk Alternative
  • ½ Tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

Make the Crumb Topping

  • In a bowl, combine all crumb ingredients. With a pastry cutter, blend the ingredients until they come together and form a sand-like texture. Alternatively, you can do this in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or in a food processor.

Make the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a bowl and mix with a wire whisk or fork until evenly blended.
  • In a separate, larger bowl, add oil, sugar, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla. Mix using a whisk, spatula, or spoon until evenly blended.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl. Mix until lumps have mostly disappeared, being careful not to over-mix (so do this manually rather than with a mixer).
  • Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle raspberries on top and gently press them partway into the batter.
  • Sprinkle crumb topping on top, gently squeezing fingers while doing so to create larger crumbs.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes. When done, test with a toothpick—when inserted into the cake, it should come out clean and free of batter. If the raspberries are in the way and making it difficult, gently move some aside with a butterknife and try again.
  • When baked, allow to cool. Transfer to a wire rack when safe to do so.

Make the Lemon Drizzle

  • Combine all drizzle ingredients in a small bowl or cup and stir until thoroughly mixed. Using a spoonful at a time, drizzle over the cake.
