Lemon Raspberry Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Yummy! I had no intentions of baking tonight. I had every intention of going through a relaxing evening of browsing the internet, dancing to Michael Jackson on the Wii and various other random, unproductive activities. (For the record I did all those and this!) I started by browsing pinterest. Critical mistake numero uno! I found all kinds of things I wanted to make.

I kept abandoning my computer to search my fridge and cabinets for the proper ingredients. I was always missing one crucial ingredient: butter, pudding, etc. How inconvenient! So why not wait until I go to the store? Because now I was sparked! I had scratched the itch! I I wanted something simple and new!

I took this delicious recipe for Cake Batter Blondies and adapted it to make this tasty cake! Did you notice the raspberries!? To quote one of my favorite movies, "I didn't plan that; it was just spontaneous combustion!" (That Old Feeling, have you seen it??) Which is basically to say it resulted on accident because it was one of the ingredients bulging out of our overfilled freezer.
