Baked Cheese Cake 

Donna Hay's Baked Cheese Cake Recipe

Ingredients :

1. Base

3/4 cup plain flour, 1/4 cup caster sugar, 1/3 cup almond meal and 90g butter

2. Filling

330g cream cheese, softened, 500g fresh ricotta cheese, 4 eggs, 11/3 cup caster sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon rind. 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence, 11/2 tablespoons cornflour and 11/2 tablespoon water

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 150°C.

2. To make the base, place the ground almonds, flour, sugar and butter into a bowl. Rub mixture with your fingertips until it forms coarse crumbs.

3. Line the base of a 20cm spring form tin with non-stick baking paper. Place the base mixture in the tin and press gently with fingers until even and then smooth out with the back of a spoon. Bake for 15 minutes or until light golden, set aside.

4. To make the filling, place the cream cheese, ricotta, eggs, sugar, lemon rind, juice and vanilla in a food processor. Combine the cornflour and water until smooth and add to the cheese mixture. Process the mixture until smooth.

5. Grease the sides of the cake tin with a little butter and then pour the filling over the base. Tap lightly to remove any air bubbles. Bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and stand the cake in the oven for 1 hour, leaving the door closed. Refrigerate until cold and serve with fresh berries.
