- ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make Raspberry Cream Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the whipped topping. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top. Decorate with fresh raspberries.
- Slice and serve, enjoying the delightful combination of flavors!
