Recipe adapted from Alan Rosen and Beth Allen
I made this cake as a reward for my team members for completing a big project. I told them I'd make whatever cake they wanted. Leave it to them to find a cake that took me 3 days to complete and weighed about 10 pounds. Bastards. :)
It was a bit of work but it was a pretty good cake. I'm working on my own version of this delightful cake. It will be coming soon.
In the meantime, enjoy.
For the cheesecake layer:
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups sugar

Now see, if you knew ME, you'd know I can't eat this.
CARBS KILL WOMAN!!
There is a difference between wanting to eat the cake and can't eat the cake, Miss Britt. :)
Actually, carbs don't kill.
Unless they catch their lover in bed with another....
Seriously, though: my theory is that carbs only add weight when you believe they do, which sorta makes the propaganda about them too bad. I would never recommend someone eat cheesecake, as it is disgusting, but if one must, convince yourself it is healthy. Truly think that way, and no weight attaches.
