    This cake was easy to make but takes time, so patience is required. I recommend using a spring form pan, this made it easier when placing the cream cheese mixture between the 2 layers. I used the freezer to help keep all the ingredients nice and cool. This kept my filling from oozing. - 10/10/11

    Good recipe. Tips:
    2x recipe for filling & butter crumble (not enough to recreate photo)
    Freeze butter 15 mins before using. Cut into chunks w/knife, toss into remaining ingredients & crumble w/fingers. The less you touch it, the better!
    Use springform pan! Assemble layers in pan & freeze to set

    for people having consistency problems try adding lemon 1 teaspoon at a time, tasteing and watching not to breakdown the cream. To much acid will breakdown the cream. For people having problems with crust use hardened butter, not melted or softened. - 5/13/12

    I love the cake at olive garden but not this one filling is sickly sweet and the crumb topping was difficult to make,tasted bad and there was not enough to cover the sides of the cake. All to gether it took to long to make this cake and because it was for guests I made brownies as a back up. - 7/17/10
