STRAWBERRY SWIRL CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
This recipe caught my eye in the latest issue of Southern Living and I immediately had to try it. Wonderfully delicious! My notes: although the instructions stated to bake the cake for 1 hour 10 minutes, my cake had barely begun to rise by this time. I had a total bake time of 1 hour 35 minutes before the cake tested done.

(STRAWBERRY, MAYBE) SWIRL CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
This cake, minus the swirl, was brought to work by a co-worker, (thank you Linda B) who is an excellent cook. It can be a diet buster, one bite and you are hooked. Also works great for wedding cakes if you use layer pans instead of a bundt or tube pan.
