  3. In a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in two batches, mixing just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries using a spatula.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
