How to bake:

  • For you vanilla cake base, add your butter and eggs to a bowl and use a mixer to combine until you have a fluffy mixture
  • Then, add in your white sugar, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup
  • One mixed together well, take a separate bowl (I just used the measuring cup) and add in your flour, seas-salt, and cinnamon
  • Once your dry ingredients are combined add them to your wet ingredients and mix all together
  • Line a cake baking pan with parchment paper and add in your vanilla batter
  • In pan, add in all the ingredients to make your raspberry puree. Heat on the stove at low-medium heat until all the raspberries have mushed and you have a jam-like consistency
  • Once your puree cools, take a spoon and pour some over your vanilla batter, and distribute it throughout your cake creating a marble looking design with eh raspberry puree and batter
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes
  • OPTIONAL: while that’s baking, combine all your ingredients to make eat icing in a bowl and mix well, making sure there are no chunks. Once your cake is finished baking you can ice it!
