Special instructions

this cake so common in israel can be made with 90% fat free sour cream instead of the israeli “gvina levana” white cheese
also the liquid sugar subsitute works wonderfully with this recipe in place of regular sugar for a sweet variation try using your favorite cookie for the bottom crust.
