Cream Cheese Pound Cake
(serves 10-12 )

Ingredients
1/2 lb. butter
1/2 pound cream cheese
2 cups sugar
2 cups + 6 tablespoons self-rising flour
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions
Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add flour, eggs (one at a time) and vanilla. Completely blend with cream cheese mixture. Pour into greased 10" tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden on top and knife inserted in cake comes out dry. Be careful not to over bake causing the cake to become too dry.

Cake can be served immediately after cooling or sliced and frozen in individual packages. When ready to consume, thaw or microwave until thawed (20 - 25 seconds). To make it even more special when serving, heat about 15 to 18 seconds in microwave then add a scoop of your favorite ice cream on top. Recipe can be halved.
