Lemon Pound Cake With Cherry Streusel Topping image

This pound cake uses half butter and half cream cheese and is topped with cherry filling and a crumb streusel. I came up with the recipe by mixing several different recipes together. This will make at least two large loaves, I usually make smaller loaves to pass out to friends.
