Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Recipe Description

Cream Cheese Pound Cake is a delicious rich cake which is made with butter and cream cheese. I love to have one of these in my kitchen if someone is calling around for coffee. It is a very simple cake and it keeps well if it is stored in an airtight container.

To make this, simple beat the cream cheese and butter together before adding eggs and vanilla extract. Add flour and salt gradually and once you have a batter, pour it into the cake pan and bake for about 90 minutes. Simple, but delicious!
