The story goes that my dad got this recipe from a fellow contractor on a job site many many years ago. Its a really light, fluffy version of cheesecake and about the only kind I will eat.

  • 1 ½ pounds ricotta cheese
  • 1 pound cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 quart sour cream
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Cream the cheeses well, gradually adding sugar.
  • Add eggs, one at a time. Beat well.
  • Alternate flour and sour cream.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Bake in shallow pan of water for 1½ hours at 350°.
  • Shut oven off and leave cake in for 1 hour more.
