How to Make a Frozen Cake

Fresh raspberries

Don't let the title fool you. It might sound difficult to prepare a frozen cake, but it isn't with this recipe. You assemble this cake, not bake it. You can't go wrong with ingredients like ice cream, raspberry sorbet, pound cake and fresh raspberries. According to pickyourown.org, "Raspberries are so expensive in the grocery store because, since they are so soft, they bruise easily, spoil quickly and do not ship well"; if possible, pick your own.
