This cheesecake is the result of a happy kitchen error. Someone left an oven on high - and this beautiful creation came about. It has only five ingredients and involves no whipping, separation of eggs, or tiptoeing around the oven to avoid cracking. In fact, it’s meant to emerge cracked and burnt-looking and have a sunken middle. Do refrigerate it overnight — the result is deliciously creamy and pudding-textured.


Method

Grease a 22cm cake tin and line it with baking parchment. Preheat oven to 220°C — yes, that’s not a mistake.

In a large bowl whisk together the cream cheese, eggs and sugar to smooth out any lumps.

Stir in the double cream then add the flour and mix again.
