Today’s junk food: Sara Lee Blueberry Poundcake!!

Sara Lee Blueberry Poundcake: The Money Shot

Fun fact about Sara Lee Poundcake – I used to eat it ALL THE TIME growing up. My parents used to cut slices, slather them with french vanilla ice cream, and make homemade ice cream sandwiches. My parents were foodies ahead of their time! But I honestly haven’t had poundcake in YEARS until this one. Heck – DECADES. It’s been a while. So I was surprised to see a non-plain variety of poundcake when I spotted this Sara Lee Blueberry Poundcake. BLUEBERRIES!? YES.

Slicing the poundcake, it was just as I’d remembered – the thick, spongy yet dense cake cut easily, and I pried the end piece out with my butter knife. The denseness of the cake was visible – lots of tiny holes, consistent throughout the cut face. Speckled with blue, there were plenty of blueberries throughout.

Taking a big bite, my mind was rushed back to childhood – I immediately recognized the familiar yellow cake semi-French vanilla taste of the cake, with its distinct thick chew. The blueberries did indeed add decent flavor, as my mind went back and forth between the fact that I was eating poundcake and feeling like there were definite hints of blueberry muffin going on on my tongue. The cake was thick; I felt that if I chewed hard enough I could hurt my teeth. But that was silly; poundcake would never hurt me. Poundcake loved me.

Anyways, the flavor is pretty straightforward – this was a blueberry muffin-flavored poundcake. It’s simple, straightforward, and for a dense freezer-section cake, it’s solid. I liked this a lot – clearly it was enough to lure me back into buying poundcake for the first time since the early 90’s.
