Lemon is one of my favorite flavors to pair with berries and this Lemon Pound cake with berries and whipped cream is pretty much perfection. There are lots of things to love about this dessert.  But you can’t go wrong with pretty and delicious.  That is the perfect combo!!

The lemon pound cake is a nice dense cake without being too heavy and it’s full of lemon flavor.  Don’t skip the glaze that goes over the top once it is baked.  That as it is the thing that really gives the cake it’s lemon punch!

This is the perfect dessert for all your summer time dinners, parties or cookouts.  Just switch up your berries according to what is in season.
