Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Monday's are always quite busy in the Cobb household. It is a catch up from the weekend kind of day. It always starts with laundry including all of the bedding and this morning included putting all of the peas that my daughter and I shelled this weekend into the freezer. Thankfully that job is done and laundry is almost complete. My granddaughter came into the laundry room this morning and said, " I have a great project". I then replied, "and what is that". She said, "we can make a cake together. Well anyone that has grandchildren know, you can never deny them anything...especially if they want to cook. Get your kids involved in the kitchen, it is a great way to spend some great quality time together. So I am off to spend some time baking with my beautiful grandbaby...everything else can wait! Here is the recipe. Bake one with your babies and Enjoy!

1 1/2 cups butter, softened (do not use margarine)
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 cups self- rising flour
