Bundt Pan Cheesecake


My DH (Dear Husband) made this Bunt Pan Cheesecake from a recipe I found on another blog.
It was so rich and delicious even X3 loved it and he never likes anything! :) We've had it twice already. The 1st time he made it I ate the whole top (which is really the bottom) while it was still warm. This is the one he made for our Xmas party. He made me stay away from it so that he could take a pic after it had been in the fridge.
Here is the recipe as I found it on the other blog!

Bundt Pan Cheesecake

Crust
1 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c. butter, melted
2 T. granulated sugar

Combine crust ingredients and press into bottom of a 12 cup molded bundt pan.

Filling: 5 (8 oz) packaged cream cheese
1 3/4 c. granulated sugar
3 T. flour
1 t. lemon zest
1 t. vanilla extract
6 large eggs
1/4 c. whipping cream

For filling: Mix all ingredients except eggs and cream. Beat until light and fluffy.
Scrape bowl often. Add the eggs and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed.
Add cream, and mix well, scraping sides occasionally. Spoon into crust.

Bake at 300 deg. for 65-75 minutes or until set.
Cool upright in pan for 30 minutes, then refrigerate 2 hours or long.
Invert on serving plate.

* The cake rises up and above the bundt pan by a good 3-4 inches. But when the cake is cooled it sinks back down to the size of the pan.
* You do not need to grease the pan.

Enjoy!
