Pound Cake

If you're not sure what a pound cake is, think strawberry shortcake but soooo much better.  Sara Lee actually does a decent frozen pound cake, but it pales in comparison to this one.  In terms of cooking, it can either be separated into two bread pans (I usually freeze one, uncooked), or one bundt pan.  It is delicious eaten warm with strawberries and whipped cream.

Note:  eggs, butter, and cream cheese all need to be at room temp, so leave them on the counter for a bit.

Pound Cake
1 pkg. cream cheese
1-1/2 c. butter (yes, 3 whole cubes)
6 eggs
3 C. sugar
3 C. flour
2 t. vanilla

Cream together butter and cream cheese, beat in eggs, sugar, flour, and vanilla.  Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 15 min or until a knife comes out of the center clean.
