For an extra special treat, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top or serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

How to Store BEST Raspberry Bread

To keep your raspberry bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it for longer, you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze it for up to 3 months. Just thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy it again.

Tips to Make BEST Raspberry Bread

• Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture. If you use frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
• Make sure to cream the butter and sugar well to create a light and fluffy texture.
• Don’t overmix when combining the dry and wet ingredients. Mix until just combined to keep the bread tender.

Variation

You can add some lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing twist. Alternatively, add nuts like walnuts or pecans for some added crunch.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?
