Hi everyone, another weekend is among us, and the one thing I love to do most is create delicious meals for the family. However the one thing I love to do the most is surprise them with a phenomenal unexpected dessert, so it started out as a bundt cake but decided to do mini bundt cakes instead, and with all the berries in the fridge why not add delicious fruit to go with this full of flavor pound cake, I am sure your family will love this one as well. Enjoy!!

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- 1 Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk at room temperature
- Fruit topping:
- 3 half-pints fresh raspberries, divided
- 1 pint fresh strawberries sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/3 cup water
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube pan. Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 2 In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar. Mix in the eggs, one at time, and beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon and the vanilla extracts. Gently mix in flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, fold in the Orange zest and make sure it has been incorporated all in the batter mix. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Step 3 Bake in preheated oven for 90 minutes. Do not open oven door until after one hour. When cake begins to pull away from the side of the pan it is done. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- Step 4 Fruit Topping:Combine a half-pint of raspberries, all the strawberries, sugar, zest and 1/3 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. The juice will become a syrup and the berries will be slightly cooked. Off the heat, stir in the remaining raspberries
