Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 4 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1¼ cups sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp flour
4 eggs
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp red food coloring

Directions: |
Directions:1. Reduce the oven temperature to 325º. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in mixer until smooth, 4-5 minutes. Add the flour, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Transfer 2 cups batter to a bowl; stir in the cocoa powder and food coloring. Pour the red batter into the crust, then pour the white batter on top. Using a spoon, pull some of the red batter up from the bottom of the cake and swirl. Bake until the edges are set but the center is still wobbly, about 1 hour, 20 minutes.
2. Turn off the oven but keep the cake inside to cool, 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan (don't remove the springform side), then transfer to a rack to cool. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before slicing. |
