This is an amazing cheesecake!December 23, 2007By upnorthincanada
"This is an easy cheesecake to make and it tastes so good. Many times I will make it for potlucks or special occasions and people just melt over it. I have had marriage proposals after people have tried this cake! When I haven't had pecans on hand - I have used walnuts - and it has been fine. I hope that you will give this cake a try. This recipe has become one of the best cakes I have ever made."
