Pretty much every night a couple hours after dinner is over and done with I will hear "what do we have for dessert?" So, knowing this question is going to pop up, I make something about 2-3 times a week - depending on my time constraints and my cravings. 🙂
I had been thinking about this pound cake for some time now. I have had blueberries in the freezer and I have been thinking I need to use them up. Grumpy isn't the biggest blueberry fan but I love them and so do my children. I made this recipe about 5 years ago for the first time. I cannot believe that this is the first time I have made it since then. This is an awesome cake. The recipe is in the Cooking Light Complete Cookbook but you can also find it by clicking HERE. I went with the suggestion to use some almond extract along with vanilla. The cake smelled and tasted awesome. It had great texture and I remembered all over again why I loved it the first time I made it. This is a definite keeper recipe - and it sure is nice to have it be a healthier one too!
I have been scarce on the internet since my laptop bit the dust. I have missed having the chance to visit all my favorite blogs, but I am getting there sporadically as I have computer time. I received the word from Justin tonight that it is my hard drive that went kaput. He will be replacing it for me and I should be back up and running in the near future. Until then Grumpy still has to share (and he doesn't like sharing either!). I'll be back in a few days with a great giveaway just in time for Superbowl!

This looks like my kind of dessert Shelby - light, moist and so delicious.

Hi Shelby, you've been missed!
Um, I sure hope you saved me a little slice of that blueberry pound cake ~ it looks delicious. 😀
I like the tip of adding almond extract. Thank you for the link to the recipe, I would love to make it very soon.

We all love pound cake here and anything with blueberries always goes over great.
Hope your computer is back up and running soon Shelby. I'd feel like I'd lost my right arm if I didn't have mine.

Shelby, this cake does look AWESOME! Beautiful texture. Of course, I don't have any of the low fat ingredients, will have to go full throttle, grins, but I'm going to make this. Can't wait for that first bite.

I'll have to make this for my husband...he does the same thing as Grumpy- he's always looking for just a little snack! I haven't been very faithful about making his snacks lately as they are such a temptation to me. But this is lighter-yeah! Thanks, Shelby.

I don't like sharing my computer either! The cake looks moist and delicious!
