Layered dessert that should, in theory, feed a lot of people! I know it's not a typical cake, but I think it's better than that! And it really does feed a lot of people!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 18 servings

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) package prepared pound cake

  • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen raspberries, thawed

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat cream with 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, cream together cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar. Fold 2 cups of whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Reserve remaining whipped cream.

  2. Slice pound cake into 18 - 1/2 inch slices. Drain raspberries, reserving juice. Line the bottom of a 3 quart glass bowl or trifle bowl with one-third of the cake slices. Drizzle with some raspberry juice. Spread one-fourth of the cream cheese mixture over cake. Sift one-fourth of the cocoa over that. Sprinkle with one-third of the raspberries. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cream cheese mixture, whipped cream and sifted cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours before serving.
