Operation Easter Dinner: Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Throughout the month of March I will be featuring delicious Southern-style recipes that would be perfect to serve with Easter dinner. Hope you enjoy!

This recipe comes from my Aunt Ezell, who has been making cream cheese pound cake for as long as I can remember. It is one of our family's favorites and I am excited to share it with you!

8-oz. pkg. cream cheese
2 sticks butter
1 stick margarine
6 jumbo eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. sugar
3 c. Swansdown cake flour

Cream butter, margarine, cream cheese and sugar together; mix well.
Add 3 eggs, one at a time.
Add vanilla; mix well.
Add remaining 3 eggs.
Gradually add cake flour, constantly mixing well.
Pour mixture into a well-greased bundt pan (she always sprays her pan with Baker's Joy).
Place in cold oven.
Bake at 275 degrees for 2 hours and 15 minutes.

This cake is absolutely perfect served alone, but you can also serve it with strawberries and whipped cream on top if you like. SO good!!!
