Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a standard 9"x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper. Butter the pan and set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, a little at a time, until blended. (If the mixture seems to be curdling, add a little of the flour.)
Stir in the flour, ground almonds, lemon zest, and juice.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Scatter the raspberries and white chocolate over the top of the batter. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour & 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar for serving.
Notes
Recipe adapted from Quick Breads.
Yield: 1 standard 9"x 5" loaf (10-12 servings).
To store. Wrap your almond bread in plastic wrap and store it on the counter at room temperature for up to 3 days.
To freeze. Wrap your bread tightly and keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months. I recommend wrapping in two layers of plastic wrap and then wrapping again in aluminum foil, or placing in a freezer-safe container or bag. Let it thaw at room temperature before serving.
