Notes
- Berries - You can use frozen berries if fresh aren't available. Make sure you thaw them out prior to cooking with.
- Flour Berries - Prior to placing the berries into the batter I like to toss them with a tablespoon of flour. This helps them from sinking to the bottom of the pan. It also helps absorbs additional moisture.
- Room Temperature - For this recipe you will need to bring both butter and eggs to room temperature before mixing. Make sure you allocate at least an hour to let the ingredients come to room temperature.
- Storage - Store the pound cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
