Healthy Pound Cake...& by healthy, I mean not healthy.

This pound cake recipe is THE BEST.  Courtesy of Great Aunt Helen whom I have no idea who she is.  My best friend Frannie gave me this recipe that her family always uses.  We get a pound cake from them every Christmas, except this past Christmas was a little different.  Ginger the dog ate it.  So they made us a new poundcake along with the recipe just in case.  Thanks Fran! haha



Ingredients:8 oz cream cheese - room temperature
3 sticks of butter - room temperature
3 cups sugar
3 cups all purpose flour
