ALMOND BUTTER GLAZED CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
This great tasting cake is a variation from my standard Cream Cheese Pound Cake recipe. I love the recipe because you can change just a few ingredients to create a totally different recipe. My friends and family loves this recipe. The almond extract and almond liqueur adds just the right flavor.
