New York Cheesecake

🍰 Desserts

Dense baked cheesecake on a buttery base, plain and perfect by New York rule. The kind of simple, generous cake that disappears before it cools. Great as-is, or warmed for twenty seconds with a scoop of ice cream.

Prep 20 min Cook 36 min Serves 11 Hard

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, softened
  • Salta pinch
  • Eggs4
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Baking Powder2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped
  • Cream Cheese2 cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F, grease the tin and dust it so nothing sticks later.

  2. 2

    Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time.

  3. 3

    Sift in the flour, eggs and leaveners and fold gently — stop the moment the batter comes together.

  4. 4

    Bake until the top springs back when pressed, 28-38 minutes depending on your tin.

  5. 5

    Level the top, pile on the frosting, and let it rest ten minutes before slicing.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
