  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  16       oz           Cream cheese
   1       pt           Sour cream (500 ml)
   5                    Eggs
   1       c            Sugar
   3       tb           Lemon juice
   1       ts           Vanilla or almond extract

  Cream the cream cheese, then add the ingredients in the order
  given, one at a time. Pour into a spring-form pan on top of a
  graham wafer crust. Bake at 325 F oven for 1 hour, then turn off
  the oven, do not open the door for 1 hour. If you have a
  self-cleaning oven, you will need to open the door just a little,
  and prop it open for the hour. I find a folded grocery bag is the
  right size. Remove from oven, and put the cake into the fridge
  (after it cools) for about 8 hours.
  
  Top with fruit, cherry pie filling, fresh or frozen strawberries,
  etc., then with a dollop of whipped cream.
