Ingredients
- 1 store-bought pound cake
- 1 pint raspberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
Directions
Slice pound cake into 4 (1-inch) slices. With a medium-sized heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts from each slice of pound cake. Set aside.
In a medium bowl combine 1/2 the raspberries and the sugar. Crush berries with a fork. Add remaining raspberries to the bowl. Add the lemon juice and mix well. Whip chilled cream until the soft peak stage.
Using 2 dessert plates, place 1 heart on each plate. Pour 3/4 of the raspberry mixture over each cake. Cover cakes with another pound cake heart. Top with whipped cream and remaining raspberry mixture.

I made this for Valentine's Day and it went over really well. I did not cut the cake into hearts (that's a little too cute for me. Think Strawberry Shortcake.

I made this dessert before Valentine's Day and it came out great. The little heart cakes, the raspberry topping, and the whipped cream was nice, but it seemed like it was missing something still. I added a scoop of black raspberry ice cream and it helped a bit. It's a recipe easy enough to repeat and tasted great, but whether it's worthy of a special occasion is questionable.
