Chocolate Raspberry Pound Cake!

I've been meaning to post this NOT LIGHT recipe. I've made it twice now and it has been a big hit for both events. I could only find red raspberry preserves and it was fine. I also topped it off with whipped cream.

This sounds great! Thanks for posting...I may try to "lighten" a bit with low fat sour cream and splenda/sugar blend...but then I may not

This looks really good, and I think I will try it this coming weekend. I am going to use the light sour cream, and at least half Splenda as suggested above. I really like the combination of chocolate and raspberries.

Thanks for posting the recipe. It looks wonderful! I added it to Mastercook and although I have no idea when I will make it, I have a feeling I will eventually!

Anna, are you out there? This one sounds right up your alley!
