Desserts - Cheesecakes
EASY CHEESECAKE

FOR THE BOTTOM LAYER:
1 (2-layer-size) yellow cake mix

FOR THE FILLING:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream

FOR THE TOPPING:
2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate
3 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

TO MAKE THE BOTTOM LAYER:
Prepare cake mix as directed on package; pour half of the batter evenly into greased springform pan. (Suggestion: use extra batter to make a plain cake in a small round pan.)

Bake 20 minutes.

TO MAKE THE FILLING:
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing at low speed after each addition just until blended. Add in sour cream; pour cream-cheese mixture over cake.

Bake 35 minutes, or until center is almost set. Run knife around rim of pan to separate cake from side of pan.

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE TOPPING:
Melt chocolate and margarine over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Add water, sugar, and vanilla; mix well. Spread over cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
