Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf vanilla pound cake (pre-made or store-bought)
- 1 cup blueberry jam
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the vanilla pound cake horizontally into three even layers using a serrated knife.
In a small bowl, mix the whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Place the bottom layer of the pound cake onto a serving plate or cake stand.
Spread a thin layer of blueberry jam evenly across the bottom cake layer.
Add a generous dollop of the vanilla whipped cream on top of the jam and smooth it out using a spatula.
Sprinkle a handful of fresh blueberries over the whipped cream layer.
Repeat the process with the second layer: place it on top, spread blueberry jam, whipped cream, and fresh blueberries.
Place the final layer of pound cake on top and spread a thin layer of whipped cream over the top surface.
Garnish the top with a final sprinkle of fresh blueberries and mint leaves if desired.
Slice and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving for a firmer texture.
