Ingredients
  

For The Cake:

  • 1/2 cup Butter Flavored Crisco or regular butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For The Coating:

  • 2 tablespoons Butter Flavored Crisco
  • 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar

For The Raspberry Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

To Top:

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with Butter Flavored Crisco. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly to coat the bottom and sides. This creates the signature caramelized crust!

Step 2: Make The Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the Butter Flavored Crisco and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • One by one, add the eggs, beating thoroughly after each addition.
  • Mix in the vanilla bean paste and milk.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a another bowl. Add the dry mixture to the wet components gradually, stirring just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Step 3: Bake The Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes of cooling in the pan, move the cake to a wire rack.

Step 4: Make The Raspberry Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and water.
  • Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens and the raspberries break down.
  • To get rid of the seeds, strain the sauce using a fine-mesh sieve. Set aside.

Step 5: Serve

  • Serve the cake warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of raspberry sauce, and a few fresh raspberries for garnish.
