ingredients

For Sponge Base
- 4 eggs, seperated
- 120 g sugar

For Cheesecake
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 50 g sugar
- 4 sheets gelatin or 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 300 ml whipping cream
- 40 g shredded chocolate
- 60 g diced hazelnuts
directions
- Make sponge base first.
- Line and grease a 9inch cake pan. Preheat oven to 180degrees celsius.
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar till pale and quite fluffy.
- In another bowl, whisk egg whites till foamy. Gradually whisk in sugar till stiff peaks form.
- Fold white mix into yellow mix. Sieve in flour and fold it in BY HAND, and not with the mixer.
- Finally fold in the oil or melted butter till well incorporated. Pour into pan and bake for 25-30 mins, till cooked.
- Immediately remove from cake tin and cool. Slice into 2 layers.Then using either the ring of an 8inch springform tin, or an 8 inch cake ring, cut out circles from each sponge (this is so that both are of exact equal size, thats why we make the cake slightly bigger).
-
For Cheesecake:
- If using gelatin leaves, soften in cold water. Then dissolve it in 40ml of hot water.
- If using gelatin POWDER, sprinkle onto 40ml water and leave for 5mins. Melt in the microwave and cool for a while.
- Whip whipping cream and set aside.
- Cream cream cheese and sugar till smooth and fluffy. Add in gelatin mix and mix well. Then fold in whipped cream.
- Fold in shredded chocolate and the diced hazelnuts.
-
Assembly:
- Lay one cake layer in the 8inch cake ring. Top with 1/2 of the cheese mix. Top with the second sponge layer and then top with the rest of the cheese mix.
- Refrigerate till set.

Haven't made it but probably will not. Not written easily enough and not going to do the conversions.

Hey there!
Thanks for stopping by to look @ my profile :)
I'll be 15 on the 11th of September 2006....Ive been using Zaar for quite a while now and I've made tons of friends so far......
I started cooking when I was umm....12 and a half and Ive been in love with it ever since...My first project was the classic batch of brownies. I used a pan that was too big and I got really really flat brownies.....For the frosting I used granulated sugar and had crunchy frosting haha.....
Ive gotten much better since then!
I tend to get discouraged very easily if something I make does not come out like it was expected to....I can even get depressed over it.....
I have plans on going to Le Courdon Bleu Sydney in mid 2008 and completing the Grand Diploma there......
This is my cat Kiara. I found her in the backyard when I was 10, and I started feeding her toast and grape jelly. She's on a normal cat's diet now haha.
