My Mom, Herta Nehlsen Hubler used to make this cheese cake for every party, or to
bring to someone’s home for a special occasion. It was always a big hit!! When I was
young, mom used to tell me, “you could tell a great cheese cake when there was a crack
on the top.” I never could tell if she was teasing me or not.
