Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 2 quart oval or square baking dish.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until just incorporated.
Spread the batter in the prepared baking dish and scatter the raspberries evenly over top.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean and the top is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
Let cool for 20 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired, then serve in scoops with a dollop of whipped cream.
Recipe Notes
Leftovers keep covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4. Reheat in a low oven for 10 minutes if you want it warm again, or eat it cold straight from the fridge, no judgment. Frozen raspberries work in a pinch. Add them frozen rather than thawed so they don't bleed colour through the batter, and add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
