• This cake does not use a machine at all. The aim is to reduce the stirring so that minimum air is introduced to the mixture before baking.
• Preheat oven at 250C.

Cheesecake base

• Combine the digestive biscuit with the butter thoroughly and then press the mixture into the cake mold until a layer of firmly packed base is formed in a lined 6 inch round cake tin.

Burnt Cheesecake

• Melt cream cheese in a bain marie.
• Mix honey with the eggs into a smooth texture but do not overbeat.
• Add sugar and sift in the cake flour and whipping cream. Mix well.
• Heat up in the bain-marie to 35 to 40C, and then mix this into the cheese.
• Sieve the batter onto the cheesecake base (if using).
• Remove the air bubbles with a toothpick.
• Bake for 10 minutes, and then turn the cake 180 degrees and bake for another 10 minutes.
