Add sugar, eggs, lemon and vanilla. Spoon over crust. Bake at 180ºC or approx 55 mins (sometimes I go up to 1 hr 10 mins) Remove from oven and let stand for 15 mins. Keep oven on. Topping: 2 cups sour cream quarter cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla Combine in bowl and refrigerate while cake is baking After cake cools for the 15 mins, spoon topping over top and return to oven for 5 mins.
