I wanted to share with you all my Mom’s cheesecake recipe. This is different then the traditional cheesecake crust. It is made with a yellow cake mix, and I personally think so much better then the graham cracker crust. Give it a try, I am pretty sure you will like it!

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. Yellow Cake Mix
• 2 tbsp. Cooking Oil
• 2 – 8 ounce pkgs. Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 1 1/2 cups Milk
• 3 tbsp. Lemon Juice
• 3 tsp. Vanilla
• 1 – 1lb. 5 ounce can Cherry Pie Filling (or topping of choice)

Directions:

• Preheat Oven to 300 Degrees Fahrenheit
• Reserve 1 Cup of Dry Cake Mix
• In large bowl combine remaining cake mix, 1 egg and oil (mixture WILL BE crumbly).
• Press crust evenly into bottom and 3/4 of the way up sides of greased 9×13 inch pan.

• In same bowl blend cream cheese and sugar. Add 3 eggs and reserved cake mix. Beat 1 minute at medium speed. At low speed slowly add milk, vanilla and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
• Pour Mixture into Crust.
