This dessert would be right at home at a Fourth of July barbecue. You can substitute sliced fresh strawberries for the raspberries, if you prefer.

One of my favorite things my mom makes for the fourth. We use strawberries and add a little bit of vanilla or banana extract to the cream.
littlemeangelaGlad I found this one. I am going to make it for my co-workers in honor of all Veterans this coming Veterans day. I will give you a medal for this one. Thanks for sharing.
GuestEveryone at my Fourth of July Picnic liked this and several asked for the recipe. I cut some of the pound cake into stars using a cookie cutter for an extra patriotic punch. I should have heeded another reviewer and doubled the cream mixture.
Susan47As previous reviewer mentioned, I also replaced the pound cake with an angel food cake and skipped over the lemon syrup. I added 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the cream mixture to give it a bit more zest. I would suggest to double the amount of cream mixture to have enough for two layers or, as I did, use a layer of instant chocolate pudding.
