Start with the crust: - add the melted butter (keep 1tbsp for the baking tray) to the biscuits crumbs, the vanilla extract and mix until well combined or process for 15 sec if using a food processor.
Grease both base and sides of an 8 inches cake pan with a little of the melted butter remove the bottom of tray line it with baking paper and secure with the clasps, line the sides too.
Spoon the crumb mixture into tin and press into base and sides using spoon or cup or your hand palm, tapping firmly, chill in the fridge while preparing the cheese ingredient
In an electric mixer at medium-low speed beat cream cheese adding the sugar slowly until smooth followed by cornflour, vanilla extract, eggs one at a time, beating each time until just combined, add lemon juice followed by sour cream and beat briefly to smooth.
Pour batter gently into tin and sprinkle the almond on the top, bake for 1 hour, then turn off oven but do not open door for another 1 hour or the cheesecake would sink
Place the tin on a wire rack to cool and chill.
Before serving run a knife around the sides carefully to lose the edges and unlock the clasps, transfer your cheesecake to serving dish and top with sifted icing sugar, you can serve it with berries (optional).
Notes
Refrigerate your cheesecake for several hours before serving, preferably overnight.
I am sharing with you a delicious moist cake, tastes heavenly- four layers is definitely the way to go! . Frosted with a vanilla flavoured butter-cream icing and lots of coloured sprinkles
take a 9 inches round cake pans and line the bottoms with wax paper or baking parchment.
Cream the butter and sugar together about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the eggs gradually, beating well between each addition.
Sift together flour and baking powder and add in three parts, alternating with the milk and the vanilla extract, beating well.
Divide Cake Batter Evenly Between Pans.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick-test friendly.
Let cakes cool in the pans for few minutes before removing them then turn out and cool completely on wire tray.
For the icing :- place the softened butter in a large mixing bowl.
Add 3 cups of powdered sugar and then milk and vanilla.
Beat until smooth and creamy, gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, until icing is firm enough.
When your layers have cooled, time to put them together ...ice between the layers, then ice top and sides of cake, and cover the sides of the cake with shredded coconut, decorate the top of the cake with the coloured sprinkles.
Happy baking.
Notes
You can add a few drops of food colouring to the icing and mix thoroughly, if desired.
