Mixed Berry Pound Cake with Swirled Jam and Warm, Buttery Flavor
Mixed berry pound cake is one of those desserts that just feels like summer in every bite — moist, buttery, and bursting with sweet-tart berries in every slice.
If you’re craving more delicious ways to satisfy your sweet tooth, don’t miss these mouthwatering dessert recipes that are perfect for any occasion.
Whether you’re baking for brunch, a backyard BBQ, or just need a slice of something comforting with your afternoon coffee, this pound cake recipe is here to impress.
A swirl of berry jam adds a burst of fruity flavor and a beautiful ribbon of color throughout the cake, while the rich, velvety texture keeps everyone reaching for another slice.
It’s the kind of recipe that looks fancy enough for a party but is easy enough to whip up anytime.
Be sure to print the full recipe so you have everything you need right at your fingertips. It’s also a good idea to gather all your ingredients ahead of time — that way, you’re not scrambling to find ingredients once you’re already mid-mix!
Start by mixing your dry ingredients — flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Then cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s nice and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by a splash of vanilla. You’ll alternate adding the vanilla yogurt and flour mixture until your batter is smooth and creamy.
Pour it into a greased bundt pan, swirl in your favorite jam (this is where that sweet berry flavor shines!), and bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Once cooled, slice it up and serve with vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, and a sprig of mint for that extra pop.
Tips for Baking Berry Pound Cake
- Make sure your butter, eggs, and yogurt are at room temperature for a smooth, even batter.
- Don’t overmix: Mix just until the batter is combined to avoid a dense cake.
- Grease the pan well. Bundt pans can be tricky, so use baking spray with flour or grease and flour every nook and cranny.
- To make the swirl, a butter knife works well, but a toothpick can give you a more delicate jam swirl.
- If your jam is too thick, warm it up for a few seconds in the microwave to make it easier to swirl.
- Let it cool completely before removing it from the pan to prevent sticking or crumbling.
Fruit Toppings for Pound Cake
These toppings add freshness, flavor, and a beautiful presentation:
- Sliced strawberries with a sprinkle of sugar
- Mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- Sliced peaches or nectarines for a summery twist
- Caramelized apples with cinnamon
- Cherries (fresh or jarred) with a little syrup
- Lemon curd with thin lemon slices
- Berry compote warmed up and spooned over each slice
You can use a loaf or 9×13 pan, but baking times will vary—start checking around the 40-minute mark.
You can use just about any jam you love, but mixed berry jam is a classic choice for that sweet-tart flavor. Raspberry preserves add a bold, tangy swirl, while strawberry jam brings a sweeter, more traditional taste. Blueberry jam gives a rich, deep berry flavor, and blackberry jam adds a touch of tartness. Don’t be afraid to get creative—mix two jams together for a fun twist!
