Baked Marble CheeseCake

I have lots of collections on books especially cook books. Sometime I will test some new recipes & write some notes on the books. Remarks will be written on the books based on my own observations. It could be very messy. Sometimes, I will put a big "X" on the recipes. But this recipes which I adopted from Su Chan "Cake Temptations & other desserts" with a little changes- deserved a big "V". It is worth keeping. To be honest, the author recipes is very practical. You should be able to make the same cakes you see from the pictures.Appreciated that.

Cheesecake Texture is very smooth

I did not bake in bain-marie, so the surface of the cake crack a little. But it doesn't affect the taste of the cheese cake.Still smooth & yummy.

30g Melted Dark Chocolate ( I use 70% Cocoa)

Reserve the Dark Chocolate to make the marble swirls.

50g All purpoe flour
150ml whipping cream,whipped & keep it cool, otherwise, it will deflated.
