This cake literally is the stuff dreams are made of. At least my raspberry, cream cheese, cake dreams. My sister in law makes this cake regularly. She found the recipe in a novel she was reading, and decided to give it a try. I am sorry, I do not know what novel, nor do I know whom to credit. So my disclaimer is that this is not my recipe. And thank heavens for whomever created it! And for a sister in law willing to make it and bring it over to me!
Calories don’t count for birthday cake right? This was my birthday cake this year, and I am hoping that it is zero calories. This blog is making me fat. You’re welcome.
