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.

I'm not a fan of poppy seeds, so I omitted them from the recipe. The cake was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the poppy seeds.

This cake is way too dense for my liking. It's more like a brick than a cake.
