ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is most excellent if you're a cheese cake fan! While this isn't a traditional cheese cake, this is a superior CREAM cheese cake recipe. It's home made cheese cake, but it's not New York style. It's Southern style and it has a wonderful lemony flavor. ABOUT THE ICING This is a very versatile recipe as you can finish this one off any way you like. You can use canned pie filling (any flavor), you can make a standard butter cream icing to drizzle over the top, or you can purchase a commercial cream cheese frosting, warm it in the microwave and drizzle THAT over the top. I like them all. *LOL*. Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour |
3 cups white sugar |
6 eggs |
12 ounces margarine (room temperature) |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature |
1 dash salt |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup butter |
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons sweet cream |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
food coloring, any you might want to use |

3. Add and mix in the eggs one at a time.
4. Add flour slowly and add extracts.

6. Bake at 300 for 1 1/2- 1 3/4 hours, or until done.

8. STANDARD BUTTER CREAM ICING/FROSTING.
9. Cream the butter and gradually work in 1/2 cup of the sugar, beating well, then add the remaining sugar alternately with the cream, still beating constantly.
10. Then add the vanilla and a little coloring, if you like.
11. Fruit juices may be used in place of the cream, in which instance omit the vanilla.
