Discovered this cake years ago in the Joy of cheese cake cook book. This is unusual in that it contains cream cheese, but is not a cheese cake. the moist texture the cream cheese adds combined with the marvelous flavour of the nuts makes this a remarkable cake. Don't serve this cake chilled as it so much softer and moist at room temperature
