4 sticks butter  
1 8 oz pkg. cream cheese
1 c  sour cream
3 c sugar
6 eggs, large
1 tsp vanilla
3 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a pound cake loaf pan.

Cream together butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar.  Add eggs
one at a time continually beating.  Then add the vanilla and finally,
the flour, salt, and baking soda.

My Mom didn't tell me how long it should bake, she only wrote that I
should "take care" of the pound cake.
