Ingredients

Crust

10 cups Graham cracker crumbs
1 cup sugar
3 cups margarine

Filling

8 lbs. cream cheese
7 cups sugar
16 lg. eggs
3 cups whipping cream
4 cups sour cream
4 tbsp. cornstarch
4 tbsp. vanilla

Instructions

Line edges of 3 springform cake pans with wax (or parchment) paper. Press Gaham cracker crust into bottom. Set aside.

Cream cheese until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until dissolved. Add eggs slowly then add remaining ingredients in order and mix until combined. Pour into pans and bake at 250°F. for 30 minutes; reduce to 200° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Make sure to rotate cakes in oven for even baking at the halfway point. Cakes are ready when you tap the sides and they wiggle like jello.

Author's Comments

A properly cooked cake should be perfectly level across the top. If it has sunk in, it's overcooked.

Stolen from the "confidential" recipe manual of Moxie's Restaurants. This is the same recipe used by the Cheesecake Cafe, which used to be owned by Moxie's.
