Ingredients

For the cake:

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup raspberry jam

For the frosting:

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cream or milk

Instructions

Making the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350 F and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add in the oil, buttermilk, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and beat until well combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.

Making the Frosting

In a large bowl, beat together the powdered sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and cream or milk, and beat until well combined. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream or milk until it reaches the desired consistency.

Assembling the Cake

Once the cakes are cooled, spread about 3/4 cup of raspberry jam onto the top of one of the cakes. Place the other cake on top, and spread the frosting over the top and sides. Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries, if desired.
