Ive always been a bit of an old soul.
The same is true for my favorite recipes.

The ones in the dog-eared, stained, spiral-bound cookbooks of my grandmothers generation are some of my favorites.
I just wasn’t prepared for exactly how good.
I am 37 for reference.

I remember it being sold in a little gas station my grandmother owned in Marietta Ga.
This has always been a family favorite and I finally got the recipe a few years ago.
Whats So Special About Cream Cheese Pound Cake?
Simply Recipes / Stephanie Ganz
/u/LyingInPonds emphatically says, The crusty bits are SO good.
North Carolina, here, and people would beg my Mom to make them her cold oven pound cake.
Its a sentiment thats echoed over and over again."
Two main things make this recipe noteworthy.
The first is right there in the name: cream cheese.
In a typical pound cake recipe, you use a pound each of flour, sugar, and butter.
But theres another important trick that shouldnt be overlooked:This cake starts baking in a cold oven.
If youve never baked a cold oven cake before, this will seem counterintuitive.
Youll begin by creaming butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer until fully combined.
Next, add sugar and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, waiting until each is incorporated before adding more.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla last, mixing in gently.
Allow to cool completely before serving, and store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days.
