For the pound cake:
2 sticks butter
1/2 cup shortening (or butter)
3 cups sugar
5 eggs (adding one at a time)
3 cups UNSIFTED flour
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon extract
Slowly add and mix well:
1 - 7oz 7UP
Pour into two greased and floured loaf pan. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Let cake cool in pan for 10 to 15 minutes then invert onto a cake platter. Cut into slices length ways ans cut out star shapes using a cookie cutter.(or any shape you wanted)
Make a glaze using milk and powdered sugar.
To serve:
Place a couple of pound cake stars on a plate. Top with assorted berries. I used strawberries and blueberries. Then pour glaze over the berries and cake. Enjoy.
This is the dessert we had for the 4th of July. It looks very patriotic. I would share a picture but once again, I failed to take any 4th of July pictures.
