Simple and yummy cake to enjoy any time of the day! Raspberries have been on sale lately so I found myself with more containers than I knew what to do with in the fridge. I whipped this up as a simple weeknight cake. I love the blend of cardamom, raspberries and a touch of almond flavoring. —There'sAlwaysPie

Hi, I just made this cake tonight with some raspberries I picked last week. It's cooling now and smells great. Just wanted to let you know I think 400 F is too high of an oven temp and you might want to revise/advise. My cake cooked in a 9-inch square pan in 18 minutes. 12 of those at 400 and then I turned the oven down to 375 F when I rotated my cake because the edges were crisping and the center still liquid. A 350 to 375 baking temp. would be gentler and probably better for the cake. Looking forward to eating it in a few :)

Thanks for the comments! My oven tends to cook a little on the low side - so I'd understand why it might be too high. I should have made a note of that in the recipe.

Thanks everyone! I've recently discovered yogurt cakes - they are simple and you can play with a lot of different flavors.
