Raspberry limoncello cake

 (makes 8 generous or 12 small slices)

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup plain yogurt (I used Greek yogurt, but any kind will do)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup oil (canola or another neutral-tasting oil)
• zest of 1 lemon
• 5 Tbsp limoncello liqueur, divided
• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 2 6-oz containers fresh raspberries
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, sugar, oil, lemon zest and 3 Tbsp limoncello. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix with a rubber spatula. Do not overmix or the cake will be tough.

Spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray and pour the batter in. Smooth the top and arrange the raspberries on top, pushing them down a little into the batter. If you're a little OCD like me your raspberries will end up in perfect concentric circles. If not, you're probably happier overall, and your cake will still turn out beautiful.

Bake about 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and the top of the cake is golden. Cool the cake in the pan for 2 minutes, then pop out the cake and put it on a rack, underneath which you've put some newspaper.

While the cake is cooling, mix the powdered sugar with the remaining limoncello in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon this glaze over the warm cake and spread with the back of the spoon (now you know the newspaper is there to catch drips). The glaze will set in just a few minutes.
