This luscious pound cake has a nutty top crust, and is moist and flavorful. Makes a great gift. You can use halved maraschino cherries instead, if you prefer.

I've tried many cherry cream cheese cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and buttery, the filling is creamy and tangy, and the cherries add a pop of sweetness.
