In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese for 2 minutes and add sugar. Gradually add flour mix, mix well on slow speed. Beat in eggs one at a time until blended. Add sour cream, lemon peel and vanilla. Beat until just blended, pour into crust. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes. Beat egg white until frothy, add 1 Tbsp. sugar and beat until peaks form. Fold in 1/2 cup sour cream until blended. Spread on cake and return to oven. Bake until topping is set, not brown. Turn off oven and let cake cool completely with door ajar.
