I’m a big fan of a bakewell and an equally big fan of loaf cakes so bring them together and well, it’s just perfection for me! This is a great loaf cake recipe that has a lovely surprise layer of delicious raspberry jam in the centre. I topped mine with a simple almond flavoured icing but some icing sugar and fresh raspberries will make a beautiful finish too.

There’s something quite special about fresh raspberries in baking and I love biting into a slice of cake and finding a gorgeous, fresh raspberry in the middle!

This is a great simple recipe to make and bake but delivers a wow factor every time!
