Bursting with flavor from raspberries and lemon, this little cake just screams summer. The light, citrusy glaze complements the berry cake in delicious perfection. Small in size, this dessert is ideal when you want a little something sweet, but don’t want the leftovers of a bigger, traditional cake lingering in your home all week. Enjoy a slice with a morning cup of coffee or tea.

Instructions
  1. Lightly grease a 7 inch springform pan with either oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter.
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and raspberries.
  4. Pour wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with dry ingredients. Using a fork, cream together mixture until combined. Do not overmix, as some lumps are fine.
  5. Transfer mixture to greased springform pan.
  6. Add 1 cup water to the Instant Pot® and insert steam rack. Place springform pan on top. Lock lid.
  7. Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust cook time to 30 minutes. When timer beeps, quick-release pressure until float valve drops and then unlock lid.
  8. Unlock springform pan and let cool completely 30 minutes.
  9. Whisk together glaze ingredients until the consistency of corn syrup. If glaze is too thick, add more juice; if glaze is too runny, add more sugar. Gently pour glaze evenly over cooled cake. Slice and serve.

    The cake is really good. I really struggled making the frosting. It turned out so thin with the recommended recipe. I will have to use three times the sugar and maybe half the lemon juice next time. It was all really tasty though.

    Hi Crystal7769,

    When adding in the additional sugar, add it in 1 tbsp at a time while slowly whisking. Let the glaze sit for a few minutes before each added tbsp of sugar. This method should help the glaze thicken up easier.
