Pound Cake Delight

Submitted by: Marie Oulimar

 

1 raspberry marble pound cake (or regular pound cake)

1 container of marshmallow cream

1 container of spreadable cream cheese

Fresh raspberries or raspberry jam.

 

Mix the marshmallow cream with the cream cheese (easier when it's at room temperature) until smooth. There is your icing. The icing can also serve as a dip for fresh fruit.

 

Cut the pound cake in half (lengthwise), spread half of the icing and add either the fresh raspberries or the jam on top. Cover with the other half of the cake and spread the rest of the icing and there you go. It's fast, it's easy and people love it.
