When I think back to my childhood and the desserts that I would enjoy with my parents and my siblings, one of the treats that always comes to mind is Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake. I remember my father telling us that when our grandmother first came from Spain to the United States, this pound cake was one of the first things that she fell in love with from this new country. She loved enjoying a hot cup of coffee with a delicious slice of what she referred to as “Heaven.”
As we became teenagers, we enjoyed pairing our pound cake with a variety of toppings depending on what we were craving at that particular moment. I can recall eating my Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake topped with ice cream, cookie crumbs, whipped cream, and even slathered in peanut butter and jelly. It seemed as if the possibilities were endless with regards to the many wonderful ways to enjoy this delicious treat.
Now that I am an adult, I still enjoy eating Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake but I like to top it with healthier ingredients. This is where the idea for my Creamy Fruit Topped Pound Cake recipe came from. I figured out that pound cake and fresh fruit are a delicious combination. By adding some cream frosting to the mix, I think I have stumbled on one of the most decadent desserts that you will ever enjoy in your lifetime. I’m excited to be sharing this quick and easy recipe with all of you today!

I love their pound cake – it is a bit addicting though. I always pair it with fruit, never thought to use frosting on it. My youngest would love for me to do that!
That is the most dense and yummy pound cake, ever…and that looks awesome with fruit and frosting…I was thinking whipped cream, too. We always use it for strawberry shortcake.
Whenever I eat poundcake it’s either as part of strawberry or blueberry shortcake. I love that it soaks up the juices of the fruit!
Pound cake makes my mouth water as it is, but this looks ten times more tasty. I’m adding this to my grocery list for the week right now!
I LOVE Sara Lee frozen dessert items! They’re great to keep in the freezer for when someone stops by unexpectedly – you’re prepared! (Plus, I had a friend named Sara Lee in high school – always makes me think of her LOL)
WOW! That looks so good!! I will have to serve this up soon!
I’ve got to say that this cake looks absolutely delicious, I’d like a piece right now!
Ohh I have not had pound cake in such a long time. I would love a slice w/fresh strawberries and cream and a hot cup of coffee.
I haven’t had any Sara Lee for years. Now I want their poundcake with some strawberries!
Strawberries with lots of whip cream. I also enjoy a hot cup of tea with mine.
We love Sara Lee products in my house. Now you have me craving the poundcake!
I’ve actually never had poundcake, but this looks really good! I like Sara Lee products in general. They’re always great quality and reasonably priced.
Although that looks really delicious, I don’t eat cake. I would just take the fruits
I’m not big on pound cake, but when I do eat it, I like it with whipped cream and strawberries.
Does that ever look like a creamy and refreshing treat. Delicious!
Wow! Your photos are making me hungry. It’s an easy and very delicious dessert. I love pound cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream or with fresh pineapple!
That looks fantastic! I will have to give that a try. I love strawberries on my pound cake and so does my family.
This looks so amazing. I love fruity desserts like this!
This looks delicious and I want to make this for my summer dessert. Oh or for memorial day around the pool while we bbq.
A quick and delicious dessert to prepare guests when entertaining. Yummy! 🙂
My daughter and husband shared a slice of pound cake while we were in NYC a few weeks ago. It looked delicious and they loved it. I’ll have to pick them up some Sara Lee Pound Cake for them to enjoy at home!
This looks delicious! I love pound cake- I don’t even mind it completely plain! Yum!
I love Sara Lee poundcake and have eaten it for years. We love it with strawberries and whipped cream. Yummy!
SaraLee has amazing pound cake but i love how you made it even better!
Wow! That looks amazing! Even my picky kid was impressed. Their pound cake was what my husband would have for dessert every Sunday down in New Orleans…yum!
I could dig into that quickly. Nice and healthy fruits are great on it
Love this photo! Have never had it before but looks delicious! I have been inspired to make one for dessert this week.
Your use of Sara Lee brings back memories of my mom bringing home desserts (chocolate cake with vanilla frosting!) that we five kids would dive into. This pound cake recipe is going straight into my Evernote Recipes notebook. Thanks!
