Raspberry Pound Cake Brownies
I have been getting a lot of requests for cakes and brownies so I thought I would combine them into one recipe. Raspberry Pound Cake Brownies offer the decadence of cake with the simplicity of brownies.
I must admit that a raspberry cake was not the direction in which I initially thought I would go with this dessert. I was thinking of a chocolate coconut brownie until I went to my grocery store. Seeing gorgeous raspberries was all that I needed to alter my baking path.
I debated adding some lemon zest into the batter but I wanted the flavors of the sour cream and raspberries to stand out. If you prefer to pucker up a bit, add a couple of teaspoons of lemon zest with the additions of sour cream and vanilla.
Raspberry Pound Cake is terrific straight out of the fridge but I am happy to eat it at room temperature, too. A recipe this tasty is pretty much spot on at any temperature.

I like the combination of tart and sweet!
There is something so perfect about tart and sweet together, Faith! Thank you. 🙂
