1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1/2 to 3/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In 1-quart saucepan, heat raisins and rum to simmering over medium heat. Remove from heat; let stand 15 minutes.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating until blended. Stir in raisins and any rum remaining in saucepan. Pour over partially baked crust. In small bowl, mix sour cream and brown sugar. Drop sour cream mixture by tablespoonfuls randomly onto cream cheese filling. Swirl sour cream mixture through filling with knife for marbled design.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack. Refrigerate 2 hours or until chilled. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
