"Cheesecake"

Hello everyone! I am Yana, i`m 16 years old. I live in Portugal, in the beautiful city of Lisbon. This is my first blog and it is about food, delicious desserts and more. A couple of days ago I would not even have thought that I would do a cooking blog.A friend of mine helped me to get this blog, she has a blog in which. She writes short poems .One day in class, she said, "Hey,Yana, you like to cook? So why don't you also create your own culinary blog!" I doubt very much if I could do this blog? And will it be important to people? But then, I thought, because I love to cook so this is my passion, so why not share with others what you love to do? And there was a blog "Let`s study cooking together" I try to tell all my culinary adventures with you and together we will improve the ability of our culinary. I hope you enjoy it! Let's get started!

      - My first post is certainly sweet. This gentle, cheesecake. I found out about it 1 year ago from the Internet, since I prepare regularly. Its not hard to do, the main thing you need is a little practice.

Cheesecake with strawberry

Thus, the ingredients of the pie:
for the dough:
flour - 1.5 cups (~ 150-160 g)
Sugar - 0.5 cups,
butter - 100-125 g,
baking powder - 1 tsp
for curd filling:
cottage cheese - 450-500 g,
sour cream - 0.75-1 glass
Eggs - 3 pcs,
Sugar - 5-6 tablespoons, or to taste
vanilla sugar - 1 tsp

To begin with we'll do the filling. Сottage cheese beat with a fork or electric mixer until smooth. Separate the yoke of proteins by adding the yokes to the cream cheese, and proteins in a separate bowl.

* Department of yokes from whites is a very fun activity, but also difficult and responsible. After all, if a drop of yoke gets into the whites, they do not stray into the ideal, thick foam.

To our mass,add the sour cream, vanilla sugar, sugar to taste (I use 5-6 tablespoons, but it depends on the tastes of human

P.S. Sweet tooth "sugar to taste" in limiting measure)

Getting our proteins, starting with a minimum speed of electric mixer, beat whites, gradually increase the speed to high.

* I love the beat whites. For me it is unrealistic when the transparent liquid stretching just a couple of minutes turns into a white, thick, beautiful foam.

To find out whether you are shot down proteins is enough to turn the dish with proteins and foam should not fall. I for example, whenever whisking proteins flip the dishes with them over his head ahahaha. I saw it in a cooking show where the judge checked fairly well beaten egg whites contestants. This gives me some adrenaline in the kitchen, but the guys I'm crazy cook ahah ;)

Proteins add to the weight of the curd and spoon (preferably, plastic or other material, but not with iron), moves down mix protein mass. Our filling is ready! We proceed to the test.
* At this time, you can already turn on the oven to 180 degrees, so that it was warm.

To test rub the softened butter and sugar until light in color, pour the flour and slide It adds baking powder, lightly stirring the mixture 2, then it is all together. It is better to do it all by hand. It's hard to guess how much flour you need for the test, it depends on the type of butter or the type of flour, so add the flour to the state of small flour crumbs, as in the photo:

Now the fun part, we add our cake piece by piece, take the form (you can use square, round, rectangular shape, I chose a rectangular). Fill in the form 2/3 of the flour crumbs, a little stamping it to the bottom of the form,

from top to pour the filling, spread evenly over the surface. 

And the final touch, sprinkle the rest of the flour crumbs 1/3.

Enjoy your progress work and put our cheesecake in a preheated oven to 180 degrees and bake 25-30 minutes (cooking time also depends on the oven, it took me 30 minutes to bring the main pie crust to brown on its sides) - see below for photos .

After 30 minutes, pull out the cake and leave it to cool.
* Do not rush immediately to cut the cake, filling it more liquid because of the heat, she needs time to thicken.

When the cake has cooled, we can taste it. To decorate, I used strawberries, combined with the cake very well. The rest of the cake can be put in the refrigerator to improve the taste. That's all you were a novice cook Yana, Hoping you liked. See you soon! :)

Bon Appétit ♥
