1 stick(1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups of mixed berries sliced (I used blueberry left whole, raspberry and strawberries sliced)
1/1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 large lightly beaten eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
jamPreheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a loaf pan 5x9 inch in size.
Slice fruit and mix together with 2 tablespoon any flavored jam set aside.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together butter, and sugar till light and fluffy around 5 miinutes. Add eggs, vanilla, mixing in the flour and rest of dry ingredients. Stir in the sour cream till well blended. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, top with fruit, end with the remaining batter. Bake on 350 degrees around an hour and 15 minutes or until the tooth pick comes out clean. I served this at room temperature with whipped cream. Leftover cake will store better in the refrigerator for up to five days.
That looks and sounds amazing. This goes into the must try recipe file.
ReplyDeleteOh my this looks like HEAVEN!
ReplyDeletePound cake is SO rich and perfect - love how you added berries - your grandma would love it!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother remarried after my grandfather died and her new husband was Swedish. She used to bake a poundcake that weighed a ton, but was so delicious. I actually loved it that way, so I'm sure I'd love this one, too. I've never baked strawberries since I didn't know if they'd disintegrate. Glad to see they don't.
ReplyDeleteYay for what I'm making for our 4th of July cookout!
ReplyDeleteSo wishing I could eat that for breakfast this morning :-)
