Hey Amy!

Last weekend I spent time in PA with my family celebrating my brother’s 40th (ahem) birthday.  My sister-in-law, Trish, made this fabulous cake and I asked her if she would share on Friday’s Friends.  Trish is a great sister (in-law), mother and wife.  She gives me a run for my money each time we step into the kitchen.  Her home looks like a page out of Martha Stewart Living.  I cannot think of a thing she doesn’t do well, including being my friend.  Here’s her delicious cake (it’s super simple too!

Ingredients:

Make lemon cake batter according to box mix and bake in two 8-inch round pans. When cooled, use a long, sharp knife to cut the rounded top off one layer (so the other layer will stack flat on top of it). Cut each round cake in half (horizontally) so that you are left with four layers of cake. In between each layer, spread a generous amount of raspberry preserves. Once all four layers are stacked, ice the cake with one container of Cool Whip (I prefer how this looks and that the icing is not so sweet – makes the flavors of the cake and preserves the stars of the show). Line the bottom edge of the cake with fresh raspberries; garnish with a few on top, as well. The finishing touch: zest a lemon on top of the cake for a little extra flair and lemony flavor! Enjoy!

So there you go.  Will’s mom will not steer you wrong.  And yes, this is the same woman my brother was boasting of on the Martha Stewart Show.
