Bake the cake
Place the pan on the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake the cake 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center. June will notify you when the cake is ready. If desired, follow directions on your June to continue cooking.
Cool and frost the cake
Remove the cake from the June Oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Once cool, run a paring knife between the pan and the edges of the cooled cake. Unmold the cake and transfer the cake to a platter. Use a spatula or knife to spread the frosting evenly on the top of the cake.

Add the raspberries
Decorate the top of the cake with raspberries, starting by putting one raspberry in the middle of the cake and forming concentric circles of raspberries around it. Use all the raspberries.
