- RASPBERRY SAUCE
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon corn starch
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Add the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the raspberries lower to a medium heat and simmer until mixture starts to thicken,about 5 or 6 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a sieve into a bowl. I press down on the berries with a fork to get all of the juice out. Discard seeds and pour sauce into a small pitcher.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 6-inch mini bundt cake pan with no stick cooking spray. Spray all areas very well.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt;set aside.In a medium size mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter. Add sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Beat in the egg, Fiori Di Sicilia, 3 teaspoons of lemon juice, half of lemon zest, and the sour cream.
- Beat in the flour mixture, alternating half at a time, with the milk. Beat mixture until combined, but do not over beat.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan. Tap pan gently on counter top three times so air bubbles will rise.
- Bake about 24-26 minutes, or until cake tester inserted comes out clean. Do not over
- bake. Remove from oven and allow to set on a wire cooling rack 10-15 minutes. Invert and carefully remove from the cake pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Drizzle glaze on cake and serve with lemon curd and raspberry sauce.

NOTES:
I included a recipe for homemade lemon curd, but you can use a purchased one also. If you do not have the Fiori Di Sicilia extract, you can substitute 1/4 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp orange or lemon extract. Be sure to spray the bundt pan very well with no stick cooking spray. After the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert carefully onto a serving platter after that. You may use any fruit to make the sauce if you do not want raspberry, but it is so good with the other flavors.
