ROBIN'S CAKE

1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/4 tsp. vanilla

2 egg yolks
1/4 c. heavy cream
1 c. sifted flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
Pinch of vanilla bean pulp
1 egg yolk
1/2 c. butter

1. Prepare dough by combining flour, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla. Make a well in center and add egg yolk and butter. Work together quickly with hands until well blended. Wrap in wax paper and chill 1 hour.
2. Prepare filling by combining cheese, sugar, flour, orange and lemon peel and vanilla bean pulp. Add eggs and yolks, 1 at a time, stirring after each addition. Stir in cream. Set aside.

3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter bottom and sides of 9 inch spring form pan. Remove sides from pan.
