POUND CAKE WITH BERRIES

Where did you find this recipe?

THE POUND CAKE RECIPE IS BY CAROL KICINSKI AND WAS SHARED ON HER BLOG SIMPLY GLUTEN-FREE. I CREATED THE BERRY MIXTURE ON TOP:

Honey-Sweetened Berries with Lemon

 2 cups sliced strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
juice and zest of 1/2 a lemon
1/4 cup honey

Mix ingredients together and allow to sit for 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend together.

Did you make any changes to the recipe?
I HAD TO CHANGE THE RECIPE TO MAKE IT DAIRY-FREE. I DID SO BY EXCHANGING RICE MILK FOR THE MILK AND BY USING EARTH BALANCE SOY FREE BAKING STICKS INSTEAD OF BUTTER.

YES!

WATCHING THE INGREDIENTS COMBINE INTO A CREAMY-LOOKING BATTER.

MIXING IN THE EGGS, ONE EGG AT A TIME. UGH.

How does it taste?

THE POUND CAKE WAS LIGHT AND SWEET, AND THE BERRIES WERE BOLD AND FLAVORFUL.

YES, I DO.

Would you make this recipe again in the future?

YES!

Would you like to try the pound cake with any other toppings?
YES! I'D LIKE TO TRY MASHING THE BERRIES FOR SOMETHING MORE LIKE A SAUCE.
