Best Ever Baked Lemon Cheese Cake

Definitely this is the best baked Cheese cake I ever had, it is light and lemony. We had it  in New Year Eve party. Shirley made it and every one loved it. Many of us asking for the recipe and I also take the opportunity to write the recipe or else, will forget. 

I have been googling the baked lemon cheese cake, but I will stick to Shirley recipe and have tried to make one and taste just as good. Her suggestion is using Philadelphia cream cheese because it is smoother ( I have compared 3 different brand). Here is her recipe.
