Notes
Use sour cream or greek yogurt in place of regular yogurt.
If you're using frozen raspberries instead of fresh make sure NOT to thaw them before adding to the cake batter otherwise they will discolor the batter.
If you don't have almond extract or prefer not to use it, feel free to omit it—the cake will still taste delicious thanks to the natural almond flour and fresh raspberries!
