Basque Burnt Cheesecake (TAKE 2!)

Hello all,

I tried out a new recipe Basque Burnt Cheesecake a few weeks ago for a birthday girl :) I wanted to see if I could get a more burnt top! This recipe only required a mixing bowl and a whisk so seemed pretty easy~! Also it is for a bigger sized tin than the previous recipe I tried. (You can find the previous recipe here).

Basque Burnt Cheesecake
Recipe by Samantha Lee

Ingredients
450g cream cheese (room temp)
100g caster sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
270g heavy/thickened cream
20g cake flour

1. Preheat oven to 240oC fan forced. Grease and line 18cm (7 inch) round cake tin with baking paper.
2. Place cream cheese in large mixing bowl. Beat using a whisk until smooth. Add sugar and beat until smooth.
3. Add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Add vanilla, salt and cream and mix together until all combined.
5. Sift in cake flour and mix until all combined.
6. Pour into lined cake tin. Bake for 35 minutes or until the top is burnt and the centre of the cake is still quite jiggly. Remove from oven to cool. Once cooled, put in fridge for 4 hours or overnight. 

Although I didn't achieve a fully burnt top (I think it may be my oven's problem of not distributing heat properly... still figuring it out!), it still tasted amazing. Thankfully the birthday girl enjoyed her cake :D 

If you guys need an easy and delicious cheesecake recipe..this is the ONE! Happy Baking :)
