Berry Pound Cake

This Very Berry Pound Cake is a slice of summer! Absolutely gorgeous, baked in a bundt cake pan. It is bursting with flavors!This is a delicious classic pound cake, that is rich and buttery. However, I twisted a bit and added vanilla bean seeds for a subtle vanilla flavor. Seasonal, fresh and fragrant strawberries and blueberries are added into the butter, so that every slice of this Very Berry Pound Cake is bursting with juicy berries.

Just look at that amazing crumb! So rich, so buttery, it melts in your mouth! This cake is fabulous on its own, or it can be served with vanilla ice cream. Also, a dollop of whipped cream and raspberry sauce will do just fine.
