Raspberry chewy cake

It is raspberry season and raspberries nowadays are so sweet! I decided to give my recipe for Blackberry Chewy Cake another go. This time I put raspberries instead.

Once again, the cake turned out delicious! This is one of the simplest and easiest cake recipes ever. It uses relatively small amounts of flour and sugar. The cake is soft and chewy at the same time with slightly crispy edges. It is almost like a chewy and soft cookie. The cake will only slightly rise as it does not use baking powder or baking soda.

As I have said before with my Blackberry Chewy Cake, this cake is pure fabulousity!
