you know you want some

A few days ago, I mentioned the delicious dessert our friends brought over. On this particular occasion, Erin was helping her son fulfill his cub scout duty. At a cub scout fundraiser last month, he promised "Sunday night dessert with free delivery" to the highest bidder. I couldn't pass on the free delivery part so I bid and won. I expected a plate of cookies (which would have been great - this family knows how to bake a good cookie), but instead the Greenes went all out and delivered homemade cake with raspberry sauce. It was so so good! Several people have asked for the recipe, so with Erin's permission, I give you:

Erin's Lime Pound Cake Cake: 3 1/4 C. cake flour 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 18 Tbs. butter (at room temp) 8 oz. cream cheese (at room temp) 3 C. sugar 6 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 3 Tbs. fresh lime juice (about two limes) 2 tsp. lime zest Glaze: 1/4 C. lime juice 3/4 C sugar Raspberry Sauce: 12 oz. frozen raspberries 2 tsp. lemon juice 3 Tbs. sugar 1.
