CREAM CHEESE-POPPY SEED POUND CAKE



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.
