    Recipe



    Combine cream cheese, eggs, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons
    vanilla, lemon peel and 4 teaspoons lemon juice. Mix for 20 minutes at medium
    speed with electric mixer. Crush crackers and combine with confectioners' sugar
    and melted butter. Press into bottom of 2-piece removable-bottom angel food
    cake pan to form crust. (Do not line sides of pan with crust.) Pour cheese mixture
    into pan on top of crust and bake 35-40 minutes in 350 degree oven. Cool for 30
    minutes.

    Frost with sour cream which has been mixed with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1
    teaspoon of vanilla extract and green food coloring. Return to 425 degree oven for
    7-10 minutes. Chill in refrigerator at least 6 hours. At least 8 hours before cake is
    to be served, remove from pan. Combine cornstarch, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 1
    teaspoon lemon juice, red food coloring and crushed strawberries in a saucepan.
    Cook until thick and glossy, stirring constantly.

    Cool, pour on cake and chill in refrigerator until cake is to be served. Garnish the
    hole in the center with silk flowers.
