Raspberry Loaf with Orange Blossom Cream Cheese Frosting!

Hi guys!

A week or so back i bought some frozen raspberries, we do get fresh raspberries these days but they 3 times the price of fresh ones (which are really hard to survive in our heat!) I think these fancy berries frozen ones are better for the Indian heat! anywhooo i found that some of them are not squished in the pack and i really wanted to use them also i realised i had a bottle of orange blossom in the cupboard! This cake is approved by my little man and pleasing him is not easy I promise… the recipe as follows

  • Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, check with a wooden skewer to see if completely baked.
  • Once baked, let it cool on a cooling rack.

Orange Blossom Cream cheese frosting:
