Summa is the best!
When else do you get to eat a fancy pound cake sandwich loaded with fresh strawberries, raspberries, bananas, and layers of strawberry cream cheese. Yes please!!!
Come One, Come All
Pound cake by itself is absolutely wonderful. Add all of this goodness to it and you have created something down right delicious! This pound cake sandwich brings me back to my childhood. Once in awhile, my family would eat brunch at The Garden Cafe during the summer. When I got lucky, they would serve these sandwiches with more cream cheese in them than anything else and I remember lots of strawberries but mostly I remember they were little pieces of heaven!
Sandwiches like this are perfect for kids and adults! Cuz let’s face it 👉 Pound Cake + 🍓🍌 + Cream Cheese disguised as a yummy sandwich…well, what’s not to like?!
It tastes like dessert!
Weekend Plans
Memorial weekend is approaching. The most likely weekend of the year that it will either rain or be cold here in South Central Nebraska. Nearly everyone plans (hopes) to spend the weekend outdoors whether that be at a lake, cabin, backyard. And then Mother Nature laughs in my face and it goes and rains all weekend long.
But, fear no more! With one of these in hand, it will not matter whether you are indoors or outdoors. Just chow down and pretend everything is as perfect as these splendid summer fruit sandwiches!
You can make these one of two ways. 1) Make your pound cake at home and pat yourself on the back for making something so simple yet tastes like you just spent hours in the kitchen! Pound cake is so tasty! 2) Buy pound cake at the store and save yourself some time to do other Memorial Weekend-y things like relaxing on your patio. Either way, you are a winner! 🥇
The prep is done in nearly 5 minutes:
- Cut two slices of pound cake
- Spread on some strawberry cream cheese
- Slice about 3 strawberries, 1/2 banana
- Place them on your pound cake slices along with a few raspberries and a sprinkle of sliced almonds if you feel like it!
Guess what? That’s it!
So Much Goodness in So Little Time!
Hope you love them as much as we did!! Hope you all have a safe and happy Memorial Weekend!
Cheers!
