Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

April 30, 2015 by Jessica Robinson 1 Comment

The weather has been so beautiful down in North Carolina. Trees have vibrant green leaves, birds are chirping and we’ve mowed the lawn about a dozen times already. Crazy to me, because the weather up North is just showing the first signs of spring. You will find me at the farmers market nearly every Saturday. Except for those weekends where I head back up North to do book signing events. Check out my events page to see my schedule. There are quite a few stops over the next six months or so. I’ve had so much fun meeting everyone at some of the book signing events! It is so nice to see others who are so passionate about old-fashioned recipes, living life on a small farm and cooking with simple ingredients. I especially love all of the beautiful comments on how my cookbook has inspired others! If you haven’t already read it, you can read more about my cookbook in the recent article in the Boston Globe.

I’m back in my kitchen this week, testing recipes. I’m certain you’re going to love this one! My Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake is super moist, very lemony and with the added touch of blueberries adds an unexpected burst of flavor. Topped with a simple lemon icing and you are in dessert heaven. I dropped off a few of these delicious cakes at our sons elementary school for the ladies to try and they were devouring it! It’s always nice to drop a little something sweet off at the school- especially if it’s homemade. After all, they take care of our children a good portion of the time.Lemon Blueberry pound cake
