Cheesyful Cake

      Hi guys, I know this blog hasn't been very well maintained over the past few weeks, but that's about to stop now. Exams are over and I'm as free as ever, so about time this blog gets a boost up!

      I got this from my sister's friend's Geronimo Stilton book, The Quest for Paradise ~ The return to the Kingdom of Fantasy. When I was young I used to love Geronimo Stilton books. I still do, but not as much anymore. Anyway here's an easy Cheese cake recipe you can make.

Cheesyful Cake

Ingredients:
Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs, finely ground
4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup butter melted
Cake
4 8-ounce packages of cream cheese softened
1&3/4 cups sugar
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
Topping
5 tablespoons sugar
2 cups sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
melted chocolate for design (optional)
 
How to Bake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crush the graham crackers in a food processor until very fine. Add butter and sugar and mix well. Pour the sugar into a 9-inch springform pan and press it into the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and set aside to cool. In a bowl beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Pour the mixture into the pan until it is 3/4 full bake at 350 degrees about 6o minutes, or until center is firm. Remove cake from oven. Combine sugar sour cream, and vanilla for topping. After the cheese cake has cooled for 10 minutes, spread over top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until topping is set. Melt chocolate in a double boiler (make sure they're in small pieces before you melt them). Squeeze or pour the chocolate over the cake in a decoration. You can make any design you want. Put the cake into the refrigerator until the chocolate solidifies and the cake is set. (2 hours). Finally remove the cake from the springform pan and enjoy!


Because you don't live near a bakery doesn't mean you have to go without cheesecake.
