- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 200 ml. (1 cup) sour cream
- 175 grams (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour

For the glaze:
- 2-3 heaping tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2-1 tsp. water
- Freeze fried raspberry
- Preheat oven to 170c degrees and grease the pan well.
- In a bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, mix butter, sugar, vanilla and salt until mixture is creamy, airy and bright.
- Clean the sides of the mixer using a spatula and add the eggs one at a time, while mixing between additions.
- Add sour cream and continue to blend until it is assimilated into the mixture.
- Add flour and baking powder and mix until blended.
- Transfer about 1/3 amount of batter into a separate bowl and add the raspberry puree into it. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Assembly: Pour half the plain batter into the pan level the top.
- Pour over the raspberry batter and then the remaining plain batter.
- Use a knife to create marble.
- Bake the cake for about 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely at room temperature.
- Glaze: in a small bowl stir together powdered sugar and water to a thick frosting.
- Pour the mixture over the cake and let it drip a little on the sides.
- Garnish with dried raspberry and serve.
- Keep the cake in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days, but you should serve it at room temperature rather than cold.
- Instead of dried raspberry you can decorate with cranberries.
