Grandma Theresa's Pound Cake

I was never a big fan of pound cake until Grandma Theresa gave me her recipe. Most pound cakes are usually like a brick, and I feel, tend to be dry. This one is a much lighter and creamier version than the pound cake bricks I'm used to. This cake is still great to use for tiered cakes though, because even though it is less brick-like, it is still strong enough to hold some weight.

The original recipe was typed up on a yellow index card using a typewriter; that's how old this recipe is. And I still have it to this day!

Grandma Theresa's Pound Cake

1/2 cup Oleo (or unsalted butter)

1 1/2 cups flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3 oz cream cheese

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla

Cream oleo (butter), cream cheese, and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients and milk. Stir until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Grease and flour a loaf pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. :)
