Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/4 pound finely ground blanched almonds

4 8-ounce packs cream cheese, room temperature

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 large eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature

Grated zest of 1 lemon

Grated zest of 1 orange

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

8"-by-3"-inch cake pan

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8"-by-3"-inch cake pan and dust with ground almonds; set aside.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, heavy cream, and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and beat until incorporated. Beat in zests and vanilla.

3. Pour into prepared cake pan, and place in a large roasting pan. Transfer to oven rack, and carefully add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to come two-thirds up the side of the cake pan.

4. Bake until firm, about 2 hours, adding more boiling water if necessary. Turn off the oven; keep the oven door ajar using a wooden spoon. Let cake cool completely in the oven.

5. Transfer to refrigerator and chill overnight. Invert onto a plate; serve.

I LOVE Martha Stewart, and in honor of her I will have to try this even though my ass may get really HUGE. Just have to work out extra hard, and really my husband is a cheesecake fanatic so there won't be much left for me to eat anyway.

Thanks for the share.

LOOKS DIVINE.

I love cheesecake but the common complaint around here is that it sometimes is so heavy/rich. This looks so light and fluffy! Can't wait to try it. I only have a 9"springform pan. Do you think that would work?
Regards,
Betty
