The cake

Super quick post about the cake I made.  So we are having the International night tonight and everyone needs to cook something from their country.  We don't have any good foods, so I decided to cheat.  (Good option he he...)  I made a baked cheesecake, which has nothing to do with Finland, and decorated it with berries and Finnish chocolate.  Felt really weird to go to grocery store and pay 15 bucks for a bowl of berries.  First time I needed to buy them... 

This is one of my best recipes so I'll share it with you :) 

Ingredients:

250 ml biscuits (I use digestives)

50g butter

50 ml sugar

1 tsp vanilla sugar

200 g cream cheese

100 ml sugar

1,5 tbsp lemon juice

2 tsp vanilla sugar

2 tbsp corn starch

150 ml cream

2 eggs

- Cut the right sized circle out of baking paper and place that to the tin

- Mix the firs four ingredients 

- Press the mixture into the tin

- Whip the cream 

- Separate the yolks and whites

- Whip the whites

- Mix all the other ingredients

- Add whipped cream to the mixture

- Gently add the whipped whites

- Pour into the tin

- Bake in 150 °C for 1 - 1,5 hours, or until fully baked

- DECORATE!!!! :)) (my favorite part)

This is my mum's specialty, but also works when I do it.  I hope.  

Have a good weekend,
