Ingredients

Lemon Pound Cake

  • 8 ounces Butter soft
  • 6 ounces Cream Cheese soft
  • 2 cups White Sugar
  • 3 Eggs room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoons Salt

Honey Mascarpone Cream

  • 1 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1 cup Mascarpone
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon

Berries

  • 1 quart Strawberries chopped
  • 1 pint Raspberries
  • 1 pint Blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8” loaf baking pan by spraying it lightly with baking spray, and lining it with parchment paper.
  • Toss berries together gently with sugar, set aside.
  • Measure flour, baking powder, salt in a bowl and sift twice.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high speed till soft and creamy.
  • Add cream cheese and beat until well-combined and creamy.
  • Add sugar and beat on low to combine, then scrape the bowl well, and beat to mix thoroughly.
  • Add eggs one at a time on low speed. Scrape the bowl again and mix till well-combined.
  • Add lemon juice and vanilla extract.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed till nearly combined.
  • Take the bowl off the machine, scrape excess batter off the paddle with a spatula, and fold batter scraping from the bottom of the bowl until it is homogenous, no longer than 1 minute.
  • Pour into prepared baking pan and bake on the bottom-middle of the oven until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes.
  • Pull from oven and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, whip heavy cream and mascarpone together using a whisk until fluffy. Whisk in honey and cinnamon.
  • Serve cake sliced with macerated berries and generous dollop of honey mascarpone.
