Baking Cheesecake The Easy Way
August 18th, 2009 by hlgilesAs a former baker, I was once responsible for baking cheesecake in truly massive amounts – something like eighty to one hundred and sixty cheesecakes a day. I truly doubt you will ever want to turn out that many cheesecakes, but I can use my hard-won wisdom to give you some tips on how to turn out perfect cheesecakes at home, every time. The trick to baking cheesecake isn’t in the batter – there’s plenty of variation possible in creating your cake. A traditional New York cheesecake is deceptively simple, consisting of just cream cheese, butter, flour, sugar, eggs, and heavy cream, with a little vanilla extract and citrus zest for flavoring.
