  Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.  Press the cheese through a sieve. In a 
  large mixing bowl, beat together the cheese and sugar until light. Add the 
  egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add the 
  milk, lemon rind, and vanilla.  Stir in the flour and blend until smooth. 
  In another large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft 
  peaks, then gradually add the confectioners' sugar beating until they form 
  stiff peaks.  Fold the whites into the cheese mixture. Gently stir in the 
  raisin bits, then pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Bake for 55 
  minutes or until the center appears firm. Let the cake cool in the oven for 
  15 minutes, then allow to cool to room temperature.
