Passionate Raspberry Cake with Cheesecake Crème

0930 Passionate Raspberry Pie w Cheese Cke Creme DSC_8860

This cake is very moist and will stay so for days. The Cheesecake Crème is wonderful and there’s usually not any leftovers but if you do have a small batch left, please place in a piping bag, pipe small piles into a tray and place in the freezer. The small frozen Cheesecake treats are great with a cup of coffee (see photo).
