If I had to choose only one dessert to eat for the rest of my life it would be pound cake. I think it is perfection on a plate. From the buttery, crispy top layer down through the moist, dense cake. Just yum.
After my parents divorced my brother and I rode the bus every day to my grandmother’s house. I think a “food” category needs to be added to the Love Languages
Her specialty was 7-Up Pound Cake and to this day that is my favorite, but that is closely followed by this recipe for Blueberry Pound Cake that my mom found several years ago in the Louisiana Proud Home Cooking
Blueberry Pound Cake
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour, divided
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Preheat your oven to 325 and prepare a tube pan by greasing and flouring it.
Cream the softened butter with your mixer for one to two minutes. Slowly add the sugar to the butter mixture and mix well, again two to five minutes. Add eggs one at a time and blend just until the yellow is gone. Mix in vanilla.
In a separate bowl combine two cups of flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly add to the butter/sugar mixture and mix just until combined.
Dredge the blueberries in the remaining cup of flour and fold that mixture into the batter.
Pour (scoop) batter into the pan and smooth. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean when it is done.
Let cool (or really you can eat it warm, but watch out for the blueberries because they will be HOT). Store covered for four to five days, if it lasts that long.

Yum!! I pretty much love blueberry anything. This seems pretty easy and looks delicious.
It is very easy and really delicious.
I never think that pound cake is what I want until I taste it and the angels sing.
This is easier than my best pound cake recipe.
Exactly. Angels. Singing.
YUM! I will definitely be trying this!!! I am always looking for something to make with blueberries!
Let me know how it was!
I am drooling! That looks (and sounds) so GOOD! Thanks for the recipe – I’m definitely going to make this. Both Princess Nagger and I are huge blueberry fans…and I love the sweet memories you have of pound cake!
It is definitely drool worthy.
I have a little man who is obsessed with blueberries. I may have to try this.
Stopping by from the Dumb Mom’s linky. 
Try it. He will love it.
The blueberries we have had over the past two weeks have been so tasty! I can’t wait to add them into this recipe. I’m thinking I want to try it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream while the cake is still warm.
The only problem with this pound cake is that I am the only one in my family who eats blueberries (and I LOVE blueberries) so I would eat the whole cake on my own. Which is probably not a great idea.
But…we are having houseguests this weekend so maybe that is my excuse.
Thanks for the recipe!
Mmmm!!! I wish I could reach through the screen and eat that. I totally agree with you about food and love languages. When someone makes something good for you to eat, you do feel loved. I am going to try this one for sure!
Oh goodness that looks pure delicious!!
