I even bought a thermometer for inside the oven(good thing because my oven was off by 15 degrees). I used an unthreaded non stick springform pan. I bought all name brand ingredients and I baked at 300 for 1 hour and 15 mins. I kept the door shut the whole time and let it sit for 1 hour after baking. I whipped the egg whites until they formed peaks like your video. I put it in the fridge to cool over night. First of all it burnt a little on the top and sides and there was a huge crack down the middle. When I took a bite it was WAY too airy and fluffy. Don't get me wrong, I was trying to make a fluffy cheesecake(the way my local cheesecake shop makes them)but this was TOO fluffy. Next problem was that it was very bland. I have ate a lot of cheesecake in my lifetime and this didn't even taste much like cheesecake. Maybe it needs more sugar and maybe I need to stir the egg whites instead of folding into mix. Not sure, but a few of my friends tried it and none of them thought it was good. There's nothing I could of done different. I followed everything step by step to a tee!!

Please read ALL the helpful suggestions on my blog for the cheesecake. I recently received a comment about the method they used in baking the perfect cake. It is the last comment made on the post for cheesecake. Hope it works for you. Happy baking and please try again and let me know how it comes out. Hi Violetta:

I was sso excited to find your recipe I have been looking for this particular recipe for a very long time. After an hour of baking I inserted the tooth pick, it came out clean, The cake looked beautiful! However an hour later when I opened the door to remove it, the center had collapsed. My oven seem to be to temp for the baking...Any idea why this happened.. I do intend to try it again! Violetta Dear Mary.

I make 1-2 cheesecakes a month for people at work. It is always a total smash hit. I use this as a base recipe and add different ingredients for different flavors of cheesecake. Cakes I've made with this recipe: Peppermint Lemon Key Lime Caramel Cherry Red Velvet Turtle I have a couple suggestions that I have learned over the last year to get the perfect cake: After you turn the oven off to let the cake cool wait 15 minutes and then take the cake out. Use a HOT WET paring knife to gently cut the cake from the edges of the pan before the cake cools. This will allow the cake to shrink while it cools but since it is no longer stuck to the sides of the pan it WONT GET ANY CRACKS in it. This cake decorates really nicely with whipped cream as frosting. Use any flavor INSTANT PUDDING in the heavy whipping cream as a stablizer, about 1/3 package for a pint of cream. If you don't use a stablizer the whipped cream will not be whipped after a few hours I usually pick a pudding flavor to compliment the cake I am making. Then use a pastry bag to decorate the cake.

Wait till you taste this cake. It's scrumptious. I like putting a fruit puree on top and then sprinkle with powdered suger or just plain, it's marvelous. I would love to hear from you after you and your family taste this airy cheesecake. God Bless and enjoy!
