The craze in town is the Burnt Cheesecake. It is very smooth and delicious to the palate. It is very expensive if we were to buy it from the bakery. As it is the simplest cake to bake, it would be better to bake it ourselves. The process involves only mixing and baking. We can vary the quantity of the ingredients to bake the cake of the size we desire. We can also any way that we want.
- 625 g cream cheese
- 160 g sugar
- 5 eggs
- 310 g whipping cream
- 30 g all-purpose flour (or even 50 g to prevent cake from sinking)
Method:
- Line a 9-inch round pan (with removable base) with non-stick parchment paper.
- Pre-heat oven to 200 deg C.
- Add cream cheese and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer. (You may also use a hand mixer or a hand whisk.)
- Start the mixer and mix till sugar is dissolved. Scrape down at least once to ensure that all the cream cheese and sugar are well mixed.
- Add the eggs, one at a time. Scrape down after each addition to ensure ingredients are well mixed.
- Add the whipping cream.
- Add the flour. Use a whisk to mix the flour with the other ingredients till the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the batter at 200 degrees Centigrade for 1 hour or until a wooden skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool down in the oven for about 20 minutes with the oven door slightly ajar.
- Transfer the cake pan to a metal rack.
- Remove the cake from the pan and discard the parchment paper.
- Let it cool down completely before decorating it.
- Transfer the cake to the refrigerator till it is to be served.
