Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

When I was growing up, my birthday cake was always Mommas Pound Cake.  It may not sound like much for a birthday cake, but I can assure you, nothing taste better than a fresh, home made pound cake!
This recipe will stay in your family forever.  The melting, rich flavors do not compare to a store bought or bakery cake.  Trust me, even tough you don't know me!
When I grew up and started cooking for my family, I decided to add something exciting and add flavor. YES! It tastes divine!  Cream cheese icing is the BOMB!  Have you ever had pound cake with icing?
