1 lb Cream cheese
1 pt Sour cream
1 c Sugar

2 tb Lemon juice -- fresh is best

*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!!!
