  • For filling: Beat cream cheese in large bowl of electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Beat thoroughly. Spoon over crust.
  • Set pan on baking sheet to catch any batter that may drip out. Bake 10-inch cake 40 to 45 minutes. Bake 9-inch cake 50 to 55 minutes. Cake may rise slightly and crack in several areas; it will settle again. Cracks will minimize. Remove from oven and let cool. Refrigerate overnight.
