This Old Fashioned Pound Cake recipe is one my mother made often throughout my childhood. Dense and buttery, this traditional pound cake is the perfect blank canvas for a fruit glaze or whipped topping.

My mom is forever making treats for my dad to take with him to work. She switches it up regularly between his favorite M&M cookies and various other sweets, like these Salted Caramel Blondies or her Classic Peanut Butter Cookies, but this Old Fashioned Pound Cake might be the most popular choice. The dense cake holds up well in a sack lunch and retains its smooth, buttery flavor for days.

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3 1/4 c sugar
