There's something about a pound cake that reminds me of a nice Grandmother~ they always have a pound cake baked, baking, or talking about their favorite pound cake...This is one of our favorites~ it's good, nice and heavy, just like a pound cake should be...

OMGOSH! Who wouldn't gain a pound..we've got 1-8oz. pkg. cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups butter, softened.

Beat the cream cheese and butter together, add the vanilla.

While beating add 2 of the eggs, one cup of sugar and one cup of the flour. Repeat until all of the eggs, sugar and flour are used.
