Grandma's Cream Cheese Pound Cake

My grandma rocks on so many levels. Even though I'm grown and out of the house I still look forward to going out of town to grandmas. She still baby's and spoils me rotten.

It should be a sin for a pound cake to be this divine!
I swear everything her hands create tastes soooo freakin good, including her cream cheese pound cake (my favorite kind of pound cake).

I could just sit in her country kitchen and watch her cook all day long. When I went to visit this past weekend I asked if she could make me a cream cheese pound cake and with a smile she said "why sure".
I love my grandmother's nurturing, hard working hands

I wasn't expecting it right that minute but she went into the kitchen and whipped this pound cake up like it was nothing.

What I adore about my grandma's cream cheese pound cake recipe is that it bakes up incredibly moist and soft. The texture is so velvet-like and don't even get me started on that soft, golden "crisp" that the outside has. Mercy. I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as my entire family has over the years. 

INGREDIENTS (all ingredients should be room tempt.
3 sticks real butter (unsalted)
8 oz cream cheese
6 large eggs
3 cups sugar, sifted
3 cups cake flour (can use all-purpose flour if you sift it really well)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons vanilla, extract
2 teaspoons lemon extract





Watch my grandma make this cream cheese pound cake from start to finish!
