5. Finally sift the flour into the mixture and whisk in, along with the baking powder. Stir in the fresh raspberries.

To decorate​​

1. For the icing, use an electric whisk to beat the butter until soft and light. Add the pink food colouring. Using a wooden spoon, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of the icing sugar. Gradually add in the remaining icing sugar and beat together. Finally, beat through the elder-flower cordial. Try the icing out. If it is too thick, add a drop of cold milk or a drop or two more of cordial depending on your taste.
