Of course, me being me, the first thing I did was start digging thru the sweet and yummy sections.  When I found the perfect cream cheese pound cake recipe……..a pound cake to gift with the Cinnamon Honey Butter jars I had made.

Pound cake should have a fine, dense and moist crumb, full of flavor but not too sweet.  This recipe did not fail!!  I used vanilla bean paste, because I love seeing the specs of vanilla in the cake, and I switched out the lemon extract for almond extract, to go with the cinnamon in the honey butter.  Other than that, I followed the recipe to the tee.

I made a few mini loaves of the cream cheese pound cake to wrap up and gift with my Cinnamon Honey Butter Jars, and a larger loaf for my family.

The pound cake was SO delicious, my family devoured it in no time.

I removed the mini loaves from the pan.  Let them cool completely.  Then wrapped them in unbleached parchment paper and tied with jute twine.  I just love how they looked with the jars of honey butter.
