Cream Cheese-Poppy Seed Pound Cake image

This is a dense delicious flavoursome cake from the Better Homes and Gardens Cake Book. It is quite filling so I don't bother frosting it and cut thin slices.My DH doesn't like cakes much but he loves this cake. Note that it also freezes beautifully.

This cream cheese poppy seed pound cake is a delightful treat! The texture is moist and flavorful, and the poppy seeds add a nice crunch. I topped mine with a glaze made from lemon juice and powdered sugar, and it was the perfect finishing touch.
