- Preheat oven at 240 degrees C
- Mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth
- Mix in eggs one by one
- Mix in vanilla extract
- Mix in double cream
- Sift in flours and mix until all is well combined
- Line you baking tin with baking paper (I like to crunch it up so that it’s easier to fit)
- Pour the batter into the tin. Tap the tin onto the counter to burst any bubbles. (Optional: for a super smooth batter you can pass this through a sieve)
- Bake for 30 minutes at 220-240 degrees C on the lower rack (adjust accordingly if your cake is turning too dark)
- Take out of oven and leave to rest for at least 2 hours. Though very tempting, do not remove your cheesecake from the tin at this point or it will collapse! It would have risen and crack a bit during the baking but will deflate nicely once fully cooled down. Leave it in the fridge overnight for a firmer texture.
* The ingredients used above will yield a gooey lava-like texture when consumed at room temperature. Adjust accordingly if you prefer a firmer texture. You can add more cornflour (to thicken the batter) and swap the cream with more cream cheese, or bake for a bit longer (~5mins)
