How to Make Abby S Cream Cheese Pound Cake

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 8 ounces cream cheese until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 90-105 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, if desired.
