Lemonade Raspberry Cake
I’ve been craving cake lately. Like really craving cake. But not something heavy, I wanted something light that reminded me of summer and BBQ’s and hanging out at the pool!
I loved the Lemon Lava Cake that I made earlier and followed it up with the Cherry Limeade Cake and the Coconut Rum Cake.
All 3 of those are on our family favorite recipes list now so I had to make something to top those! How does a Lemonade Raspberry Cake sound? It sounded pretty yummy to me!
