Strawberry Swirl Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Submitted by Dreamgoddess

"This recipe caught my eye in the latest issue of Southern Living and I immediately had to try it. Wonderfully delicious! My notes: although the instructions stated to bake the cake for 1 hour 10 minutes, my cake had barely begun to rise by this time. I had a total bake time of 1 hour 35 minutes before the cake tested done."

I saw this in the magazine and just had to try it. It is A-MAZING! I actually forgot to put in the almond extract & vanilla extract and it was still good. I put homemade whipped cream on top with some chocolate sauce. MMMM!
