-CRUST-

FILLING
1 lb Cream cheese
1 pt Sour cream
1 c Sugar
2 tb Flour
1 ts Vanilla
2 tb Lemon juice; fresh is best
5 Eggs
1 pn Salt
*Could use Cinnamon Crisp Cookies instead.
Blend the sour cream and cream cheese well and add the egg yolks (which
have been beaten first) and the other ingredients. Whip egg whites until
stiff and fold cheese and yolk mixture in CAREFULLY. Make sure it is all
incorperated. Pour into a springform pan and bake at 350 degrees for one
hour. Then leave door closed for one hour; and then oven door ajar for
last5 hour (3 in all). Cake is creamy and smooth and may crack a bit on
top. Good reason to make a strawberry topping.
This cake was given to Jeannie Toll by one of Mort’s old girlfriends about
37 years ago. She gave it to me when Mort and I told her about our
engaement…hence the title. Betty Mondress gave me her ‘recipe’ card as
mine dissappeared years ago. I used my copy of the LEVITTOWN SISTERHOOD
COOKBOOK; (Pa..circa 1957) until it disintegrated. Of course i submitted it
as my own…G. Ellen; did you know that? Mom was ‘bad’in her younger
days!!!
