Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 6-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter and lining with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and bicarb soda in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the buttermilk and lemon zest.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just mixed.
  6. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before removing from pans.
  7. For frosting, beat room-temperature butter until smooth; gradually mix in sifted icing sugar, lemon juice, citric acid, and pink food coloring.
  8. Assemble by layering cakes with raspberry jam and frosting between layers; frost the entire cake.
