Okay so Starbucks are everywhere. My daughter loves the place. I myself enjoy a simple coffee with cream and sugar, not a Grande Caramel Macchiato Latte with Madagascar cinnamon topped with whipped cream from organic cows who are massaged daily. My coffee is well, just coffee. But Starbucks is also known for great treats to go with your Jumbo Grande “I think this is coffee” drink.

One of these is Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake. There are plenty of copycat version of this very rich and dense pound cake on the web. So I might as well add my version. Don’t want to be left out. Back in the summer, my neighbor Lindsay blessed me with about two gallons of fresh raspberries.

I made lots of recipes with the fresh raspberries including Raspberry Ricotta Cheesecake Squares and Cranachan with Fresh Raspberries, but also froze a few bags. Raspberries freeze great. So when I decided to make this pound cake I had fresh frozen raspberries at the ready. This recipe makes a very dense cake. It is more like bread than a cake. Either way it goes great with your morning coffee even when your coffee has more calories than a slice of this Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake.
