This is the ONLY cake I bake from scratch!

Seriously.

Cream cheese pound cake is so easy, so simple, so fool-proof that it just makes sense to be my go-to when I need to bring a dessert to a dinner or have someone over for tea. Plus, it’s a definite homage to my southern roots. Besides tea cakes and cracking pecans, nothing reminds me of my childhood in Beaumont, Texas better than a slice of this here pound cake.

I can’t take credit for the recipe because it’s tried and true! Google for yourself and see.

If you want a dense cake perfect with whipped cream and a cup of coffee, here’s the recipe.
