I'm going to be making this on Sunday, and it took me forever to find
the recipe so I decided I'd post it on here so it won't be so hard to
find it next time. Anyway, I originally got it off the Raskas cream
cheese box (so no, I am not claiming any involvement in the creation of
this magnificent recipe, though I changed a few things and am giving you my version here). The original recipe calls for double the
amounts, which is perfect for a 10" springform pan, or two regular 9"
pie pans (like the disposable kind that comes with the graham cracker
crust already made for you!). Since I'm going to cheat and buy the
crust, and since I don't think we need to be eating so many calories,
I'm just going to make one 9" cake using the following recipe.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2/3 C sugar
1 t vanilla
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
8 oz. sour cream
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325F. Prepare pan with crust (sometimes I make a
graham cracker crust, but I usually cheat and buy one that comes in the
tin).
2. Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla; set aside.
3. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Blend in egg mixture and sour cream.
4. Bake at 325 for 1 hour. Turn oven off and leave cake in oven with
door ajar for one more hour. Cool 1 hour at room temperature; chill.
