Berry and Pound Cake Skewers
Berry and pound cake skewers combine fresh strawberries, blueberries and soft pound cake for a quick, colorful dessert that’s perfect for parties or casual get-togethers.
Servings: 12 skewers
Ingredients
- 12 Ounces pound cake cut into 1-inch cubes or larger
- 1 Cup blueberries fresh
- 36 strawberries fresh, tops removed
Instructions
- Thread the blueberries, strawberries and cake cubes onto bamboo skewers, leaving a couple of inches clear at the bottom to hold them.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Chill before serving: Cold fruit adds extra refreshment and holds its shape better.
Cut evenly: Keep cake cubes and fruit similar in size for consistent skewering.
Halve the berries: Sliced strawberries would also work if you're starting out with huge ones.
Use firm cake: Day-old or chilled pound cake is easier to thread and less likely to crumble.
Serve upright in a jar: For a fun display, stand the skewers in mason jars or glasses.
Dry the fruit: Pat berries dry before assembling to avoid soggy cake.
