GRANDMOTHER'S CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE 

Here is a receipe handed down to me from my mother.  I have made this cake and it is awesome.  Not responsible for the calories.....:)

• 3 cups sugar
• 3 sticks butter
• 3 cups plain flour
• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
• 6 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• dash of lemon flavoring

Let butter and cream cheese soften to very soft.  Let eggs reach room temperature.  Cream sugar, cheese and butter (this can be done by hand with a whisk.)  Add 2 eggs and 1 cup of flour at a time, mixing well each time one is added until all are in.  Add dash of lemon flavoring.  Grease and flour cake pan.  Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes.  ENJOY!!!!
