    To all moms out there: Happy Mother’s day! 

    This recipe might come a bit late to make it today, but there is always another mother’s day coming up – or any other day! I bet every mom would appreciate this kind of cake any day of the year ;)

    Anyways – I hope you like it and have fun baking it. Works also good with strawberries – for those people who don’t like raspberries – the queens of all berries ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the graham crackers with the sugar and cocoa powder until you have fine crumbs (You can also put the crackers into a freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin). Melt butter and pour it into the chocolate cookie mixture. Mix until crumbs are evenly moistened with butter.

    2. Press the cracker mixture evenly over the bottom of a 10 inch (26cm) springform tin. Bake for 8 minutes and then remove from oven and let cool.

    3. Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230°C). Soften the cream cheese and beat together with the sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through. Add the eggs, one by one. Let them incorporate fully before adding the next one. Continue mixing until all is well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth out the top.

    4. Place in the lower part of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 230°F (115°C) without opening the oven door and continue baking for another 75-80 minutes or until the center is almost set (it should barely wiggle on top when you move the springform). Turn off the oven and open it a bit, let the cake rest for 10 minutes before you take it out. Cut around the edges with a sharp knife to separate the cake from the springform, but don’t remove it. Cool the cheesecake to room temperature then refrigerate until fully chilled – at least 2 hours in the fridge or overnight.

    5. Warm up the apricot jam in a small saucepan just until it loosens up a little and let it cool down again. Spread it over the top of your cheesecake leaving an 1 inch border on the outside. Beat the heavy cream together with the confectioner’s sugar on high speed until stiff. Arrange raspberries on top of the cheesecake and pipe the frosting around the top border.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Butterkekse zerbröseln und mit dem Zucker und Kakao vermischen (entweder im Mixer oder in einem Gefrierbeutel mit dem Nudelholz zerbröseln). Butter schmelzen und mit den Kekskrümeln verrühren, bis alles gut durchfeuchtet ist.

    2. Die Keksbröselmischung in eine 26cm Springform schütten und zu einem Boden andrücken. Für 8 Minuten backen und dann abkühlen lassen.

    3. Den Ofen auf 230°C (450°F) vorheizen. Den Frischkäse mit dem Zucker bei mittlerer Geschwindigkeit für ca. 5 Minuten aufschlagen. Eier nach und nach zugeben und jeweils gut verrühren. Sour Cream und Vanille Extrakt zugeben und alles gut verrühren. Die Masse auf den Keksboden schütten und Oberfläche glätten.

    4. In den unteren Bereich des Backofens schieben und für 15 Minuten backen. Die Temperatur auf 115°C (230°F) reduzieren, ohne die Ofentür zu öffnen und weitere 75-80 Minuten backen, bis sich die Mitte des Kuchen gesetzt hat und sich kaum noch bewegt, wenn man an der Backform rüttelt. Backofen ausschalten und die Tür einen Spalt weit öffnen und für 10 Minuten im Ofen stehen lassen, bevor er herausgenommen wird. Kuchen mit einem scharfen Messer vom Rand lösen, aber nicht aus der Form nehmen. Kuchen auf Zimmertemperatur abkühlen lassen und dann für mindestens 2 Stunden oder über Nacht im Kühlschrank kühlen.

    5. Aprikosenmarmelade erwärmen, bis sie sich verflüssigt und dann wieder abkühlen lassen. Auf der Oberfläche des Kuchens verteilen und dabei einen etwa 2cm breiten Rand lassen. Sahne mit dem Puderzucker steif schlagen. Himbeeren auf dem Käsekuchen verteilen und Außen die Sahne in kleinen Tupfen aufspritzen.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
