So, when I stumbled on this lemon raspberry traybake recipe from the Lola’s Forever book, I knew I had to try it out. Every element of this easy Lemon Raspberry Traybake is perfect – from the shortbread style base to the crisp yet chewy lemon centre and the fresh raspberries to balance everything out.

Ingredients (for a 9inch tin):
For the base
125g butter
50g sugar (caster or granulated)
150g plain flour, sifted

For the filling
3 eggs
310g sugar (caster or granulated)
1 tbsp lemon zest (about 3 lemons)
120ml lemon juice (fresh, about 3 lemons)
80g plain flour, sifted

250 raspberries and icing sugar to decorate

Method:
Step One | For the base: Preheat oven to 180 degrees/gas mark 4. Combine the butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes until smoother then sift in the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Press into your tin but push it slightly up the sides. Bake for 15 minutes and then allow to cool.
Step Two | For the filling: Combine (just whisk) the eggs, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice until smooth. Sift the flour in and blend until incorporated. Pour this over the cooled base and bake for 40 minutes until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool. Run a knife around the outside to remove it from the tin, arrange the raspberries on the top and dust with icing sugar.
