Equipment & Kitchen Tools

  • large bowl

  • Cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • To Bake ahead: Bake cake as directed. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap then wrap loosely in heavy-duty foil. Freeze up to 1 month. 

Variations, Notes, and Substitutions

  • If not using fresh berries, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw them first.
  • You can substitute 1 teaspoon lemon extract for the vanilla extract.

timesaving tips to streamline recipes

  • You can bake this ahead of time. Just wrap the loaf (after cooling) tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature up to 4 days or refrigerate up to 10 days.
  • No fresh blueberries? No problem, you can use frozen too!
  • You can use bottled lemon juice, but I highly recommend using real lemons if you can get them.
  • Store pound cake with aluminum foil and then plastic wrap. Seal in an airtight container.

    Hi Raquel, I recently found your blog and love all the recipes I've seen so far. I DO HAVE A REQUEST though: The "print" function makes the recipe so tiny, I guess, for a recipe card; but many of us use full page recipes and it's so much work to resize everything. Next time you do an upgrade, would you look into adding the printing widget that offer a full-page or 5x7 and 4x6 recipe card versions from which to choose? Thanks so much and cook on!

      HI.... well, isn't that embarrassing! I'm so sorry... I went back again to check settings and see if I did something wrong and the printer settings had been set to 60% scale, so my preview was skewing the results.... PLEASE REMOVE COMMENT! my apologies.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
