Best raspberry cakes perfect for various occasions

See my list of 20 delicious, simple, and incredibly tasty cakes prepared with raspberries. You’ll find both simple, fluffy raspberry cake, and unique raspberry cheesecakes – both baked and no-bake cheesecakes. Plus, beautiful tarts and amazing meringue. Every raspberry recipe is a true feast for the palate. Choose the perfect recipes for yourself and be sure to try them!

Raspberries are very versatile fruits, great for use in sweet baked goods and various desserts. Thanks to their sweet and sour taste, they are perfect when combined with cottage cheese or chocolate. They add not only flavor but also moisture to creamed cakes. Raspberry cakes are loved by everyone – both adults and children. During raspberry season, it’s worth using fresh, good quality fruit, and outside of it, frozen raspberries will work just as well. Therefore, it’s worth saving this list of 20 raspberry cake recipes for later, so you can come back to it anytime :)

Baked raspberry cakes

On the blog, you’ll find many recipes for delicious baked raspberry cakes – either as the main ingredient or with the addition of other fruits. I had to limit myself to 15 recipes here (including some cupcakes), although initially I planned to only provide 10 recipes. However, while browsing cakes, I couldn’t limit myself that much :) So here you’ll find the cakes that I think are the best, although I have no complaints about the other cakes and also highly recommend checking them all out – just check these raspberry recipes.

Raspberry and white chocolate cake

This raspberry cake with white chocolate is a fluffy creamed cake, where raspberries are arranged on top of the cake, and the addition of chopped white chocolate adds wonderful flavor and extra sweetness. The cake is baked in a large baking pan, so it can be divided into many portions. It stores well (and for a long time), it’s easy to take to a picnic, garden party, or on a trip.

Balladyna Cake with raspberries

Balladyna Cake is a unique creamy cake with mascarpone and raspberries. Here, two layers of fluffy chocolate sponge cake are filled with mascarpone cream with raspberries embedded in it (it’s best to use fresh fruit here), and additionally, a raspberry jelly is poured over the top of the cake (here you can use frozen raspberries). This results in an exceptionally tasty party cake. It’s also made in a large baking pan, so it will be perfect for family celebrations.

Raspberry Cloud Cake

Raspberry Cloud Cake is an extremely popular cake on my blog, and I’m not surprised, because it’s not only delicious but also beautifully presented. So you can delight your family and guests with it. This cake is prepared on a sponge base, which gives the cloud cake its lightness and delicacy. The cloud cake is baked in a medium springform pan, so it will be ideal for a smaller number of guests – you can divide it into about 12 portions (depending on the size of the cut pieces).

Egg yolk cake with raspberries

This raspberry cake prepared with only egg yolks is also one of the more popular recipes. It will come in handy when you have unused egg yolks and don’t know what to do with them. This cake made with only egg yolks is wonderfully fluffy and light. You can make the cake with frozen raspberries or fresh ones – depending on what you have at home.

Raspberries in Chocolate Cake

Raspberries in Chocolate Cake is another great cake for special occasions. Prepared in a large baking pan, it can be cut into many portions. And the cake itself is doubly chocolatey. On one side, a fluffy chocolate sponge cake, plus a rich chocolate cream, all combined with a strong raspberry mousse with mascarpone and raspberry jelly. Fresh raspberries embedded in the mousse add a beautiful appearance and unique flavor to the cake. Highly recommended!

Raspberry Pavlova Meringue

This raspberry meringue is a stately and tall meringue, which after baking is decorated with raspberry cream. This cream, made with mascarpone, heavy cream, and raspberry jam, is incredibly delicious, light, and fruity. Add fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings for decoration to delight everyone not only with the taste but also with the appearance of this meringue.

Yeast bun with cheese and raspberries

Yeast cake with cheese and raspberries is a perfect everyday cake. It’s great for a sweet breakfast, dessert, or a snack during the day. The rolled yeast bun with raspberries is delicately sweet, fluffy, and incredibly aromatic. I highly recommend it to all lovers of yeast cakes.

Yeast Melba

Yeast Melba is another yeast cake I baked with raspberries. In addition to raspberries, I also added peaches to the cake – hence “Melba”. Melba is a famous dessert where peaches are served with ice cream and raspberry or strawberry puree. This combination of raspberry and peach flavors is delicious and works equally well in a yeast cake as in an ice cream dessert.

Raspberry Cupcakes

I prepared these delicious and sweet raspberry cupcakes using Eric Lanlard’s recipe. Here, you first need to prepare a simple and quick raspberry sauce, which you add to the center of the cupcakes after cooling, and then serve the rest with the baked cupcakes. The cupcakes themselves look charming and taste excellent – especially with a little whipped cream. Raspberry cupcakes will be perfect for a summer dessert for the whole family.

Cheesecake Tart with Raspberries

This delicious tart with cheese and raspberries features a perfectly shortcrust pastry, a velvety cheesecake layer, fresh and juicy raspberries, and a sweet crumble topping. You could say it’s a shortcrust cake with raspberries and cheese. If you like cheesecakes with crumble topping combined with juicy fruits, you must try this version.

Chocolate Tart with Raspberries

This shortcrust chocolate tart with chocolate filling and embedded raspberries is a real treat for chocolate lovers. A perfect shortcrust chocolate base baked in the oven, plus a rich chocolate, velvety dark chocolate cream, and delicious juicy fresh raspberries. This combination of flavors is insane and you absolutely must try it!

Brownie with white chocolate and raspberries

This rich chocolate brownie baked not only with dark chocolate but also with chopped white chocolate is super simple to make and tastes absolutely fantastic. The rich chocolate flavor perfectly combines with the slight tartness of raspberries, creating an ideal cake. Here you can make brownie with frozen raspberries or fresh ones.

Shortcrust cake with foam and fruit

This cake with raspberries and pudding foam is a real summer hit. Light shortcrust pastry, lots of fruit, plus a light meringue foam with pudding and sweet crumble. You can use only raspberries here, or combine them with other fruits. Out of season, you can use frozen raspberries for the cake.

Cheesecake-Raspberry Torte

This chocolate torte is a delicious, slightly moist chocolate cake, layered with mascarpone cream and fresh raspberries. The cake is baked in a large springform pan and can be served both as a cake with cream and raspberries, and as a torte for special occasions. The combination of chocolate, mascarpone, and raspberries is excellent, and such a torte will surely appeal to everyone!

Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

This creamy crustless cheesecake resembles the famous New York cheesecake. It’s light and fluffy, and served with sweet raspberry sauce, it tastes absolutely divine! You can use both fresh and frozen raspberries to prepare the sauce. Raspberry cheesecake will be perfect for a weekend coffee, but also for special family occasions.

No-bake raspberry cakes

If you like no-bake cakes, served cold and not requiring the oven to be turned on, then on my blog you will also find suggestions that will satisfy you. Here I have chosen 5 recipes for no-bake raspberry cakes, but there are more, so be sure to check out the others as well. And also my recipes for raspberry desserts – I especially recommend raspberry ice cream :)

Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberries

This no-bake chocolate cheesecake with raspberries is a real bomb. Wonderfully chocolatey and velvety. And the raspberries submerged in chocolate make the cheesecake look absolutely fabulous when cut! Here you absolutely must use fresh raspberries, because frozen fruits will thin out the cheesecake mixture too much.

No-bake Raspberry Cheesecake

This no-bake cheesecake with raspberries contains raspberry jelly and raspberry jam. They give the cheesecake a beautiful pink color and an excellent raspberry flavor. You can also add raspberries on top of the cheesecake under the jelly, so that the cheesecake has an even more intense raspberry flavor.

Raspberry Foam Cake

You can prepare this extraordinary cake with raspberry foam in two ways – either with a biscuit base or with a baked sponge cake base. If you want a completely no-bake cake, choose the option with biscuits. Simply arrange them at the bottom of the baking pan and pour over the raspberry foam with jelly and raspberries. Such a no-bake raspberry cake on biscuits is a true feast for the palate.

No-bake Raspberry Square

This raspberry square is a delicious no-bake cake on biscuits. Made with mascarpone, raspberry jelly, and a raspberry layer in the middle. This makes the cake look beautiful when cut – with all layers visible. Such a cake with raspberries and jelly will be perfect not only for adults but will also appeal to children.

No-bake Raspberry-Chocolate Cheesecake

This raspberry cheesecake with a chocolate layer is another no-bake cheesecake that tastes excellent. A thick layer of rich raspberry no-bake cheesecake, plus the addition of chocolate mousse, and a delicious cheesecake is ready. You can make this cheesecake with frozen raspberries or fresh fruits.

These are all my suggestions for delicious raspberry cakes that can be prepared all year round and for various occasions. I hope something delicious caught your eye and you’ll be happy to use my recipes. Finally, I have one more additional recipe – this time for delicious white chocolate and raspberry ice cream.
