Basque Burnt Cheesecake 焦面乳酪蛋糕
This basque burnt cheesecake (originated from Spain – Basque country) has been trending and popular for quite some time. Having seen so many photos of this cheesecake floating on Instagram, I’m eager to try this basque burnt cheesecake (thanks to my Instagram friend for sharing the recipe). The creaming method of the ingredients is really easy, no water bath and just need to set a high temperature to bake the cheescake to a burnished black top. No worries if you get cracks on your cheesecake, it doesn’t have to look perfect. A rustic look is preferred and yet it’s delicious and good to eat. You’ll be surprised that the cake came up with the taste of creme brûlée and the texture is creamy and not dense at all. Definitely a keeper recipe for cheesecake lovers!

Notes
焦面乳酪蛋糕
起源于西班牙的巴斯克地区 ~ 绵密的蛋糕带有焦糖的香气。做法非常的简单,就算表层爆裂也无所谓,烤焦它是对的,属于零失败的蛋糕!

- 90克 细砂糖
- 125克 动物性奶油
- 1茶匙 香草香精 (可不加)
- 3个 全蛋
- 10克 底筋面粉
做法:
- 准备一个6寸圆形蛋糕烤盘,傍边抹油,底部和傍边铺纸。预热烤箱至摄氏220度。
- 用电动打蛋器以底速度搅打奶油芝士和细糖。慢慢的倒入动物性奶油,用中速度搅打至顺滑,加入香精。逐里的加入鸡蛋打包均匀,才下入另一粒鸡蛋,搅打至均匀。筛入面粉搅打至顺滑即可。
- 将乳酪糊倒入烤盘,放入预热烤箱(中层架上)烘烤约30-40分钟或蛋糕表面呈深棕色即可。蛋糕出炉后待凉后,脱模收进冰箱冷藏。

Hi,
I’m thinking about making individual size ones … do you think using muffin cups would be ok?? Also, how would you suggest about adjusting the temperature and time??
I appreciate your help, btw I’m terrible with baking. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

Hi, can i know why my burnt cheesecake is flat? I’ve follow the excatly the instruction.
Hi Yvonne, this is actually a small 6 inches flat cake about 2.5 inches height.
Hi!
I only have a 7inch spring form. Will the cake turn out too flat?
Hello Soo, Yes the cake is very flat for a 7 inch cake pan but you can double the recipe. The baking time would take longer and you need to monitor your own oven at this stage.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! May I ask how can I adjust the amount of ingredients for a 9-inch springform pan? Thank you!
Hi Hwee, A 9 inch cake pan is too big. You may need to use 1.5 of cream cheese (recipe x 6) and it will take a longer time to bake this cake.
Lovely cake
It looks absolutely divine!
Whipping cream and not heavy cream? That day I made with whipping cream and the top look not so burnt.Only brown type of burnt colour but not black.
Hi Coco, Whipping cream and heavy can be used. The cake will only get burnt if you either bake it longer or grill the top.
