BLUEBERRY POUND CAKE

Topped with crunchy sparkling sugar. (Reminds me of those famous Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins.) Blueberry picking season is just around the corner in New England and I’m so excited. A blueberry pound cake is New England summer at its finest and delicious cakes like this are served in Maine restaurants all summer long.

Not eating so many jelly bellies these days in our forties… We like fresh blueberries best, pick pounds and pounds of New Hampshire blueberries every July.

Mostly eat ’em straight. Put ’em on Baked Oatmeal. Blueberry jam. Blueberry cobbler. Even homemade blueberry ice-cream. But we especially love eating this delicious Blueberry Pound Cake. You will too


If you have little kids or grandkids, this wonderful Blueberries for Sal book is a fun Maine read while the cake bakes. (Robert McCloskey also authored Make Way for Ducklings, one of my all time favorite children’s books set in Boston.)
