“I found this recipe among my Grandma’s handwritten recipe cards. On the back of the card was printed ‘You have just been served the 7455th piece of Cheese Cake in the Gourmet Room at Town and Country Hotel.’ I used 1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Extract and 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla in the cake batter, and 1/4 Teaspoon Lemon Extract with the Sour Cream topping. It gave the cheesecake a light, fresh citrus flavor.” – April Ferre
