Brooklyn-Style Cheesecake
""This is the best cheesecake I've ever eaten" was the response of the first three taste-testers who sampled this cake; and it's gone on to garner similar responses everywhere it's served. A towering, rich cheesecake, it's made with a unique vanilla cake crust, the idea for which was pioneered by Junior's Restaurant in Brooklyn, NY, self-proclaimed creator of the "World's Most Fabulous cheesecake" — and they might just be right. Our thanks to Junior's for the cheesecake recipe that inspired this one...."
