Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.

Add the low-fat plain yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and lemon zest, being careful not to crush the berries.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
