Submitted by Major K.

"This is a very easy and successful recipe for the cheesecake lover in your home. The spring-form pan makes the baking of this extraordinary cake simple yet elegant in presentation. A family friend brought this recipe from the French province of Alsace."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 20mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1⁄4 lb butter, softened
• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 cups fresh fruit or (10 ounce) can pie filling, your choice of flavor

directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place cottage cheese and milk in blender. Liquify until smooth and shiny. Remove to large mixing bowl or standing mixer and cream with the cream cheese. When well creamed, gradually add sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour and cornstarch and mix well. Slowly add into batter.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add lemon juice and vanilla to batter and beat well. Supposedly, one cannot "over-beat" this cake.
5. Add softened, not melted, butter, beat well. Add sour cream, beat well.
6. Pour into a well greased 9-inch spring-form pan.
7. Bake one hour at 325 Degrees F. Turn oven off and allow cake to remain inside over one hour more. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR. Cake may rise above pan sides during first hour, but will settle during second hour.
8. Cool on a wire rack before removing cake from pan. Add topping as desired. Refrigerate before slicing, or, top each slice with fresh or prepared fruit.

The corrected version of this recipe is spot on! I'm just really shocked it hasn't quite caught on yet with people after all this time! UPDATE: Rest In Peace Major K. W. and Marty W., and thank you for posting my origional recipe (Bavarian Cheesecake) which was found in an extremely old recipe book in the attic of an old church in Germany just before being renovated. The only update made to the origional recipe was substituting cream cheese for goat cheese, adding vanilla extract, and utilizing cornstarch and less flour. This recipe spread far and wide in Europe before coming to America, where I stumbled across it. Good eating! Keith St. Pierre New Mexico

I needed to lighten this in order to be able too make it so as another reviewer did I used half of the ask for butter, then 95% fat free cream cheese, Splenda for the sugar, and low fat sour cream and fresf strawberries for the top. Even though it was far less rich it still came out tasting delicious held up quite well, I think that the 4 whole eggs did a lot of the supporting. Love, love, loved the crustless part of this of this :D. All in all just yum!

This was fantastic - I have made it twice now and it turned out great, It can easily be made gluten free by substituting two extra Tbsp of corn starch instead of the three tbsp of flour. It's not too sweet and has a really nice texture.
