*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!!!
