The original recipe for Cream Cheese Blueberry Pound Cake came from my Mom. I added the fresh berries and made it a 4th of July dessert.
You can use any color frosting drizzle and any fresh fruit in center.
The picture is of the original version I made recently with light blue frosting so I adjusted the color to black and white to give you a better idea of what the cake will look like before the berries are placed in the center.
