About this Recipe
This pound cake combines a buttery, vanilla cake base with fresh berries. This recipe suggests using raspberries and blueberries, but feel free to use any berries you like. Chef Erin recommends using fresh berries here, but if you would like to use frozen berries first thaw and drain the berries before using. This pound cake is delicious served on its own, or with a dollop of whipped cream.
