    What do you do when you have ripe fruit that's approaching the "past their prime" state? Well your first choice is to eat it, actually when you eat fruit can make a difference in the amount of nutrients you received. Ripe berries and grapes have higher levels of anti-inflammatory flavonoids which is thought to protect our brains.

    When fruit ripens, the starch is converted into sugar and it becomes softer, sweeter, less acidic and much tastier.

    Your second choice is to freeze it, I like to freeze and use in smoothies.

    Your third choice is to use it in a recipe, and that's how I used these sweet raspberries. Paired with fresh lemon juice, these raspberries make a sweet, tart and tasty raspberry sauce that can be used over yogurt, ice cream and one of my favorites is to serve it with this lemon loaf.

    I hope this puts a smile on your face the way it makes me smile. You may get lost in its deliciousness. Serve a sliced with fresh raspberries and coconut cream or slice and dice the loaf and serve in a cloud of raspberry sauce and whipped coconut cream.

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • RASPBERRY SAUCE
    • 2 cups fresh raspberries
    • ¼ filtered water
    • ¼ cup maple syrup
    • zest from one lemon, about 2 teaspoons
    • juice from one lemon, about 2 tablespoons
    • LEMON LOAF
    • DRY INGREDIENTS
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup all natural cane sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • WET INGREDIENTS
    • 2 medium eggs
    • 1 cup almond or milk of your choice
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • juice from one lemon, about 2 tablespoons
    • zest from one lemon, about 2 teaspoons
    • GLAZE
    • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
    • zest from one lemon, about 2 teaspoons
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 to 2 teaspoons raspberry sauce

    Instructions

    1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a loaf pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray and lining with parchment paper leaving some over hang to make removing cake easier.
    2. In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients and whisk (Affiliate Link) to remove any lumps.
    3. In a smaller bowl combine the wet, whisk (Affiliate Link) to combine well.
    4. Pour the wet into the dry and mix using a hand mixer for 3 to 4 minutes.
    5. Transfer to batter to the prepared loaf pan, place on middle rack in the middle of the oven, bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
    6. While loaf is cooking prepare raspberry sauce by placing all ingredients into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, when it starts to boil, reduce heat to a soft boil and allow to simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 10 to 12 minutes. When sauce has thickened, remove from heat and press through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds. Transfer to clean bowl, cover and set aside.
    7. While loaf is cooling mix the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. When adding the lemon juice start with 1 tablespoon, add the remaining juice 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture reaches the desired consistency. After adding the raspberry sauce mix well.
    8. If your glaze is too thin add more powder sugar or if too thick add more lemon juice.
    9. When loaf is cooled drizzle with the glaze.
    10. Serve loaf with raspberry sauce, fresh berries and your choice of whipped topping. I use whipped coconut cream topping.

        Thanks Alison, this loaf is so good and hard to eat all at once. I sliced, wrapped and placed in the freezer so I would eat it all.

        It is so good, I had to slice and freeze so that I wouldn't eat it all at once.

      Wow, the color of that raspberry sauce is stunning! All of this looks fantastic - I often freeze "just past its prime" fruit to use in smoothies, but this looks far tastier 😉

        Thanks CakePants, I sometimes freeze my fruit as well, but sometimes I just have to have something a little sweet to satisfy my sweet tooth.

        Isn't it wonderful how they taste so good together, but then I think lemon brightens everything.

      This sounds so perfect. The flavor combination is the best. I'm drinking coffee right now, wish I had a slice, or two! LOL There's nothing that gets me in the spring mood like the lemon flavor in a pastry. Top it off with a raspberry sauce and glaze...I'm there!!!
