Needs Sugar! The Raspberry suace needs at least 1/4 cup of sugar. As is it is bitter and just blech.

I didn't have any raspberry jam, so I used plum, and it turned out great! The only difficult part was spreading the frosting on top of the plum sauce. It ended up blending together.

Wow! That was the response from everyone who saw this cake. Nice easy way to dress up a white cake with just a little pizzazz.
