Cream Cheese-Lemon Pound Cake recipe

This very old recipe is famous for the artistic, decorative sculpture arranged on top. The picture in the cookbook has the upper outer edge circled with a braid of dough and cut-outs of ducks arranged flat on the top.

This makes a good moist cake and topping.

Do not use self-rising flour for this recipe.

What is cake flour? The other day I ran out of cake flour and needed a substitute, after searching and experimenting I came up with this replacement for cake flour that seems to work quite well.
