Wolfie’s Cheesecake

This was printed in the St. Petersburg Times. A web search turns up conflicting information, so the authenticity is questionable.

Ingredients:

1pound cream cheese
1pound creamed cottage cheese
cups sugar
4eggs, beaten lightly
2tablespoons lemon juice
3tablespoons flour
3tablespoons cornstarch
¼pound butter, melted
1pint sour cream

Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Press cottage cheese through a sieve into the cream cheese. Beat in sugar, then add eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, flour, and cornstarch. Add the butter and sour cream, and mix well.

Pour into a greased 9‑inch spring-form pan and bake at 350° F for one hour or until the center is just set. Turn off the oven, leaving the cake to rest in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from oven, cool completely, then chill thoroughly before removing from the pan.
