  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup heavy or whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 frozen all-butter pound cake (10 ¾ ounces), thawed
  • ½ cup prepared lemon curd
  • 2 cups raspberries

5

Arrange half of remaining raspberries over lemon curd. Spread 1 side of each remaining pound-cake slice with jam.

6

Place 1 pound-cake slice, jam side down, over raspberry-topped cake. Repeat with remaining lemon curd, raspberries, and pound cake.

7

Spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Cover cake loosely with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate 2 hours, or overnight.
