Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf tin.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the plain flour, baking powder, and salt, then whisk in the lemon zest.
  3. In a small bowl, gently toss the fresh raspberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking.
  4. Cream the softened butter until smooth, gradually add the granulated sugar, and beat until light and fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time.
  5. Add the dry ingredients alternately with Greek yogurt to the butter mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold the tossed raspberries into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the tin for about 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
