  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the loaf pan by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together plain flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the lemon zest and set aside.
  3. Toss the fresh raspberries in an additional tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking.

  6. Alternate adding the reserved flour mixture and Greek yogurt, mixing gently until just combined.
  7. Fold the floured raspberries into the batter carefully.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes.
