I would use some two part epoxy, the clear stuff that takes 24 hours to harden, and work it's way into the crack from the backside, if you can spread the crack before you do this it would help. I don't like C.A based glue because it tends to break down with age, and J.B Weld is metal filled, which is not really what you need here. This will make the crack as close to invisible as possible to start with, you don't really need to plaster the inside of the cabinet with anything, I never have with a straight crack, and have never had a bond fail.
Regards
Arran
