A Sara Lee Lemon Pound Cake with a Raspberry Cream Cheese Filling and Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting – delicious!
Mmmmm…lemon. I can’t think of a single lemon dessert that I don’t just love. It’s just so fresh and sweet and just a little bit tart – absolute perfection! One of my favorite flavors to pair with lemon is raspberry. Fresh raspberries really make any dessert feel special with their bright, beautiful color and flavor. Well, National Pound Cake Day is tomorrow and we’re celebrating early with this delicious Lemon Raspberry Pound Cake! {Don’t you just love all these awesome holidays??} Â I couldn’t possibly let such an important holiday pass by without proper celebration could I?
This yummy treat is super easy to prepare with the help of a Sara Lee Lemon Pound Cake. A delicious raspberry filling and an easy lemon cream cheese frosting make this a dessert that you can prepare any night of the week! I love to give my family a little hint as to what they’re about to eat so I garnished this cake with some fresh lemon slices and dotted raspberries along the base of the cake. Such a pretty cake!
