Instructions

METHOD

Cream butter and sugar. Add applesauce and egg and mix well. Blend in vanilla, buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon zest and food coloring. Mix well.
Combine dry ingredients and add slowly to mixture, stirring well. Pour batter into pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Spread batter to a depth of only ½ or ¾ inch thick. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes.
Allow to cool before frosting. Set on a flat surface while preparing topping.

METHOD ABOUT TOPPING:

Melt chocolate in microwave or using double boiler.
Using a knife, spread a thin layer of chocolate on top of cake, then set raspberries in straight rows (so that there will be 1 raspberry at the center of each cake bite.)
Cut into small squares and serve!
