This is a refreshing cake, especially for the lazy days of summer. Very simple but time-consuming; the result is well worth the effort. I hope you will enjoy it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This frozen raspberry layer cake is an easy way to create an ice cream cake at home. Thin layers of store-bought pound cake are layered with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sorbet. The layer of raspberry liquor-soaked raspberries elevates the summer dessert and makes it feel decadent. It takes time for the layers of this no-bake dessert to freeze, but the final product is beautiful and delicious.
