Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Every Spring, MDS and I cut out sweets during Lent. Because I have such a sweet tooth, it can be a challenge. But in the weeks leading up the start of no sweets, I tend to look through Mom's recipe box for sweets to load up on before going cold turkey. I found this recipe and thought it would be a perfect sweet to enjoy before I go without. This pound cake was a delicious way to get my sweets fix.

This pound cake is a fairly classic cake with common ingredients. It is such a delicious cake that it is great on its own or could support any type of frosting that you might want to add. The cake would also be delicious with fresh fruit. However you serve up this cake, you will find it an easy and delicious dessert.
