BONUS RECIPE!! Raspberry Coulis

1 (10-oz) package frozen raspberries, thawed

2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste

In a blender, combine the ingredients with 2 tablespoons water. Puree until smooth. Press mixture through a fine sieve, pressing on the solids to extract all of the liquid.

For a fancy presentation, pour the coulis into a plastic squeeze bottle and use that to decorate individual dessert plates. Do dots of different sizes, or a series of parallel lines, or even just a single circle. Top with a slice of cake and serve immediately.
