Raspberries have been a prized fruit for centuries, with records of their cultivation dating back to ancient Rome. The sweet-tart flavor and vibrant color made them a staple in many European desserts, including cakes, tarts, and pastries. As European settlers made their way to the Americas, they brought their love of raspberries with them, cultivating the fruit in their new homes.

Fast forward to the 19th century, when raspberry cake became a staple in American bakeries. It's believed that the first raspberry cakes were made with fresh raspberries, sugar, and flour, with the recipe passed down through generations of bakers. As the popularity of raspberry cake grew, so did its variations - from raspberry-filled cakes to raspberry-topped cheesecakes, the possibilities were endless!

So, how do people celebrate National Raspberry Cake Day? Well, it's quite simple really - they eat cake! Lots and lots of raspberry cake. From homemade creations to bakery-bought treats, raspberry cake is the star of the show on July 31st.
