A few years ago my husband and I were invited to some dear friends’ home for dinner. Our hostess asked me to bring dessert. I decided to “make something on the fly”, without a recipe, and this Pound Cake With Lemon Cream and Blueberry Sauce is the result!Pound Cake with Lemon Cream and Blueberry Sauce / The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Layers of pound cake, creamy lemon cream cheese filling, and blueberry pie filling were my “weapons of choice” when I made this. I love the flavor combo of lemons and blueberries!  Because I assembled this dessert at our friends home, I did not get any additional photos, so the picture you see above is IT.  BUT… here’s how I made this delicious dessert, which makes 4 servings.

I took a store-bought pound cake (in LOAF form), and cut it into 8 equal sized slices. I put one slice on each dessert plate. I spooned some of the lemon cream cheese topping over each slice, followed by a generous spoonful of blueberry pie filling.

I put another slice of pound cake on top of the blueberry pie filling (but turned this slice a quarter turn). I added another generous spoonful of lemon cream cheese topping, followed by another spoonful of blueberry pie filling.

I made sure with each spoonful that the filling ran over the sides of the pound cake (to make it look nice!). I garnished it with a couple of mint leaves and candied lemon peel (here’s my recipe: http://www.thegratefulgirlcooks.com/candied-citrus-peels/).

It was a very easy dessert to assemble… and we all agreed it was delicious! The recipe was made even easier (and quicker) by using store-bought pound cake and blueberry pie filling, which helped make this a real time-saver! All I had to do was make the lemon topping, and the rest was SIMPLE!  Hope you will give this easy dessert a try! It’s a piece of CAKE!
