Fruit Pastry

All these berries went into

 Two fruit pastries!!

 

A delicious cake that is  moist and soft. It actually reminded me of Sara Lee’s Pound Cake. The aroma of the cake filled the house when it was baking away. The  berries made the cake delightful to eat. This would go very well with peaches too! So here’s the recipe for this Berry-ful goodness.
