American Baked Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4.
  • Put the sultanas in a small bowl and cover with bourbon. Leave to soak for 15-20 minutes.
  • Lightly grease a 25cm spring-form cake tin.
  • Place the sponge disc in the base of the tin. Sprinkle with a little bourbon, if you like.
  • Drain the sultanas and combine in a bowl with the 200g of sugar and the cornflour.
  • Put the cream cheese in another bowl. Add the vanilla essence, then beat in the lemon zest and juice, the eggs and cream.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Carefully pour over the sponge base in the cake tin.
  • Pour 2-3mm of warm water into a baking tray, and sit the cake tin in the tray. (This will help create steam during cooking.) Bake for 50 minutes until the top is golden.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool and set completely before removing from the tin.
  • Just before serving, peel the bananas. Melt the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Sizzle the bananas, turning, until brown and slightly caramelised.
  • Serve the cheesecake in wedges with the bananas & a drizzle of caramel sauce or maple syrup.
