I just turned 29 last week, and for my birthday cake request, my sister made me an Old-Fashioned Cream Cheese Pound Cake.

I knew this was the cake I wanted because one of my other sisters had it for HER birthday earlier this year. And I fell in love.

IT IS INCREDIBLE!

If you're not afraid of a cake that's heavy and moist, I STRONGLY recommend this cake.
