Mini Pound Cake with Whipped Cream

Sometimes simple is all you need. There’s just something so delicious about a perfect slice of pound cake, moist and so buttery it melts in your mouth. It’s the best! This pound cake is one of my favorites because it’s super simple to put together. It has whipped cream in between each layer, with blackberries and daisies to garnish. Pound cake is denser than other cakes, so it easy to stack into two layers. These mini pound cakes with whipped cream are the perfect end of summer treat and are also great to serve for any occasion. Enjoy!
