All these berries went into
Two fruit pastries!!
A delicious cake that is moist and soft. It actually reminded me of Sara Lee’s Pound Cake. The aroma of the cake filled the house when it was baking away. The berries made the cake delightful to eat. This would go very well with peaches too! So here’s the recipe for this Berry-ful goodness.
