Has Anyone Seen My Sweatpants...?

I don't know about your family, but my family loves their desserts.  When they asked me if I could do a magazine dessert...how could I say no?  I wanted something simple and I like to keep the ingredients to a minimum.  I flipped through and found a cream cheese pound cake.  What's not to love about cream cheese and pound cakes?  Well, I mean, besides the fact I was going to have to skip the next three meals to fit into my pants to eat it.  I finally caved to the whims and fantastic metabolisms of these kids of mine.

Where Are My Sweatpants Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Well, the process wasn't as easy as I thought.  Nothing crazy hard, but not like making a cake out of a box.  I loved the fact that I had most of the ingredients on hand and only needed to pick up the cake flour and cream cheese...but what I really loved was how amazing this cake was.  I think the next time I make it, I will do a strawberry topping.  You can really do any kind of topping you want, or not at all.  It's one of those kinds of desserts.  I was going to do a little taste test (just to be able to relay what I thought about the cake to the blog), but I kept finding myself stealing a little piece here and there.  The more I ate, the more I liked it.  What are you going to do?  Wear sweatpants, I guess.
