Pour the mix into a spring-form pan and bake for 40 minutes at 325ºF-350ºF. Turn off the oven and leave the cake to cool down in the oven for about one hour to prevent the top from cracking. Chill the cake in the fridge overnight and dust the top with powdered sugar.

I used a 9"" sprinform pan and follow the steps exactly (except the sultanas). I've baked several times and it turned out great!!! It's normal the batter jiggles before baking. MOST IMPORTANT: leave the cake "in the oven" after 40 min baking. (MUST!!! ) Refrigerate overnight also help set the cake.

If I could post a picture of the atrocity I created using this recipe I would. I cooked it at 335 for 1.25hours abnd it still jiggles like a bowl of jelly. The instructions are vague at best. In what order do you mix the ingrediants? How big of a pan do you use? I can tell you for certain its not a 9". The other raters here must know something I don't or are paid very well for their opinions.

I love this recipe. It always turns out perfect, and I alwayshave friends and family request me to make it for special occasions. Bake times are right on. Remember to leave it in the oven for an hour after you turn your oven off. It finishes the cake. Highly recommended.

While this cheese cake tastes very good, it took much longer than 40 minutes to bake! Even at 350, it was over 70 minutes. Someone should make an adjustment in the recipe to warn novice bakers that you don't just turn off the oven after 40 minutes. I did that the first time and the cheesecake was not set up in the center at all. The next time, I baked it 70 minutes (testing to make sure it was set in the middle), left it in the oven as I turn it off and then it turned out well. It is a delicious version of cheesecake and it is very easy to assemble. Just be aware of the extended the baking time. 40 minutes is very inaccurate. By adding baking time, I think it is worthy of 5 stars.

It's very good but it's not the original recipe
