RASPBERRY CAKE FILLING (recipe below) ♥️ this

RASPBERRY CAKE FILLING (recipe below) ♥️ this perfectly sweet/tart raspberry cake filling is beautifully thick, seedless, and so rewarding to make from scratch! It takes just a handful of ingredients and can be made with fresh OR frozen raspberries 🙌🏼

Get the full recipe + cake pairing suggestions at the link in my bio or at https://sugarandsparrow.com/seedless-raspberry-cake-filling/

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 Cups (10oz, 315g) fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 Cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 1/2 Tbsp (12g) cornstarch
1 1/2 Tbsp (22ml) water

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a saucepan set over medium heat, add the raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook until the mixture begins to boil, stirring occasionally.
2. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes while you continue stirring occasionally. Then, remove from heat and use a fine mesh sieve to strain out the seeds over a medium bowl. After straining, you’ll be left with about 1/4 Cup of seedy pulp.
3. In a small separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and water until uniform. Return the strained raspberry filling to the saucepan (wipe it free of any remaining seeds if needed) and add the cornstarch/water mixture. Cook over medium heat until boiling, stirring constantly, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 1-3 minutes, until the filling has thickened slightly, is no longer cloudy, and coats the back of the spatula.
4. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 1 week. It will be jello-like once set but after stirring it will become a thick, jammy consistency that’s perfect to use as a cake or cupcake filling!

STRAWBERRY LEMON CAKE 🍓🍋 this cake is so light and refreshing and bursting with all-natural flavors! It’s layers of my favorite extra fluffy lemon cake + the most delicious freeze-dried strawberry buttercream that ends up the prettiest natural pink color. I’ll never get over those little flecks of strawberry in the buttercream or the tiny chamomile flowers adding so much cheer!
