Just when you thought Valentine's is over.... I have 2 more 'Valentine Bakes' for you. The first one is this lovely raspberry marble cheesecake made for Martha Stewart Cupcake Club (MSCC). I discovered this on Cupcake Crazy Gem who coincidentally is hosting this month and has chosen these fabulous cupcakes for us to bake. You must own the Martha Stewart's Cupcakes book (which I highly recommend) and have a blog to participate. A recipe is chosen each month and everyone bakes the same recipe (but variations are allowed) and posts on the 15th of each month.
These cupcakes are baked in a water-bath resulting in a rich, creamy cheesecake which does not sink or crack. They tasted absolutely divine!! One of the best cheesecakes I've ever made. I modified the recipe slightly - I didn't have any graham crackers so I used HobNobs for the base. I reduced the amount of cream cheese as after conversion, it would be 900g cream cheese which is way too much! I also reduced the sugar amount as I didn't want it to be too sweet.
Addendum: HobNobs are oaty biscuits similar to digestive biscuits and is widely available in the UK.
If you want to join in next month, we will be baking Lavender Iced Brownies hosted by Simple Girl.
