Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake

Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake is a Favorite Dessert!

Love shortcake?

This blueberry lemon pound cake is super-moist and gorgeous! Plus, it’s the first cousin to shortcake…ha!

Actually, some people call this recipe shortcake, but shortcake is technically more of a biscuit consistency.

But this gorgeous, lemony pound cake is perfect to do layers of fruit and cream too.

There’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy slice today!

Yellow and blue are two of my favorite spring colors.

Add some home-made whipped cream and you have a colorful, delicious paradise on your serving table!

Psst! Did you know blueberries were one of the top superfoods ever?

High in antioxidants, they’re the perfect choice to enjoy with a freshly, homemade pound cake.

Did you know that so many family memories are centered around food — especially homemade cakes?

For instance, my husband’s family absolutely has to have peanut butter cake at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It’s not my thing.

I can pass on peanut butter cake time and time again, but for this family?

It’s essential to holiday memories.

Another side of our family absolutely raves and even gets a bit teary-eyed when they talk about the most amazing pound cake on planet earth.

The maker of this pound cake has already passed, and no one has yet been able to step up and create her perfectly moist recipe again.

But that was before blueberry lemon shortcake came into the picture!

Start a new family tradition in your family with this homemade cake that’s layered and double layered with homemade whipping cream.

I am actually astonished at how many people don’t get to enjoy homemade whipping cream on a monthly basis.

A committee against this atrocity should be started, don’t you think?

As easy as it is to make, at least once a month each family should have homemade whipped cream!

Make a difference this spring and serve this blueberry lemon shortcake with your friends and family.

And always, always always make homemade whipped cream to go with it.

No ifs, ands or buts….just do it!

Ready to bake a deliciously moist cake and top it with gorgeous, super-food blueberries and fluffy whipped cream?

How about a glass of homemade lemonade to wash it down with? Enjoy!
