Royal Marble Cheesecake

I am posting this recipe at the request of another zaar member. She had the recipe and had lost the cookbook it was in. It came out of the pillsbury bake-off cookbook in 1965. I will have to admit that i have never tried it, but she assured me that it was the best cheesecake that she had ever eaten. It does look yummy. Of course we all know there's no such thing as bad chocolate anything! Lol i'll have to admit that i guessed at the prep time and only put down the time the cheesecake is in the oven as passive work time. I did not list the time for cooling and chilling the cake.

Steps

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler , over hot water.

Combine 3 / 4 cup flour , 2 tablespoons sugar and salt.

Cut in butter until particles are fine.

Stir in 2 tablespoons chocolate.

Press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.

Bake for 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl , cream 1 cup of sugar and the cream cheese.

Blend in 1 / 4 cup flour and the vanilla extract.

Add the egg yolks and beat well.

Blend in the sour cream.

In a separate bowl , beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

Fold the beaten egg whites into the cream cheese mixture , making sure it is thoroughly mixed.

Combine the remaining chocolate mixture with 1 3 / 4 cups of the cream cheese mixture.

Pour 1 / 2 of remaining cream cheese mixture into prepared crust.

Spoon 1 / 2 of chocolate mixture over the top of the cream cheese mixture in the crust.

Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top of this and then spoon on the remaining chocolate mixture.
