The Best Technique for Classic Cheesecake | Tips for a Light and Creamy Recipe | Kitchen Conundrums
A dense yet not-heavy classic that can't be beat. For a silky-smooth batter, take care to bring the cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream to room temperature before blending. Using a water bath ensures the cake bakes evenly, so the center doesn’t crack.
INGREDIENTS:
-6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room temperature, for pan
-15 graham crackers (each 3 by 5 inches), broken into pieces
-1⁄3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
-1 teaspoon packed finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice
-1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
-2 ½ pounds cream cheese (five 8-ounce packages), room temperature
-1 1⁄3 cups granulated sugar
-5 large eggs, room temperature
-1 cup sour cream, room temperature
-1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Cheesecake
RECIPE COURTESY OF KARDEA BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 8 hr (includes cooling and chilling times)
Active: 30 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
Crust:
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 cups thin pretzel sticks, finely crushed
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
15 chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, finely crushed
Cheesecake:
10 ounces semisweet chocolate
Four 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 large eggs
Chocolate Topping:
4 ounces dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Extra toppings, such as Cookie Pretzel Bark, recipe follows
Cookie Pretzel Bark:
8 ounces good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup thin pretzel sticks, broken into pieces
5 chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, broken into pieces
Directions
For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch nonstick springform pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment, separately on the bottom and a collar around the sides.
Mix together the pretzels, butter, sugar and cookie crumbs in a large bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Set aside while you make the cheesecake. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
For the cheesecake: Melt the chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth. Set aside.
Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on medium speed until very smooth, about 1 minute, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Turn the mixer to low, add the sour cream and cocoa powder and mix until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the melted chocolate and then the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until mixed; do not overmix. Pour the filling over the crust and spread into an even layer.
Double-wrap the bottom of the springform pan with foil, sealing it tightly to prevent water from getting into the pan. Place the springform pan into a larger pan and pour very hot water into the pan until it is about 3/4 inch deep, being careful to make sure the water level doesn't come up higher than the foil.
Bake until the center is almost set, 60 to 70 minutes. The center will still jiggle, while the edges will be set. Crack the oven door and allow the cake to cool in the oven for 1 to 2 hours.
Remove the cake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
For the chocolate topping: Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a double boiler and heat until melted. Let cool slightly, then pour over the cheesecake, spreading so that the sauce drips slightly over the side. The chocolate will harden quickly, so immediately decorate the top of the cake with any additional toppings such as Cookie Pretzel Bark. Cut into wedges and serve chilled.

Chocolate-Vanilla Swirl Bundt Cake
Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen
Total: 3 hr
Active: 45 min
Yield: 12 to 14 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
Cake:
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons whole milk
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 large eggs, plus 2 yolks, at room temperature
4 sticks (32 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup dark cocoa powder
Glaze:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
Directions
Special equipment: a 12-cup swirled bundt cake pan, such as Nordic Ware Heritage Bundt Pan, 2 large resealable plastic bags and a long wooden skewer
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup swirled bundt cake pan, such as Nordic Ware Heritage Bundt Pan, with cooking spray.
Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, vanilla, eggs and yolks in a second medium bowl.
Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture 1/4 cup at a time until fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add the egg mixture and beat until the batter is combined, about 3 minutes.
Spoon 4 cups of the batter into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the cocoa powder to the bowl with the remaining batter and beat on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Spoon the chocolate batter into a second large resealable plastic bag.
Snip the corners off the bags. Working in alternating colors, pipe strips of batter into the ridges of the pan (the pan has an odd number of ridges so you will have two of the same batters next to each other). Use a long wooden skewer to spread the strips of batter in the ridges, taking care not to let batter spill over into the neighboring color. Pipe the rest of the batter into the pan in large dollops, alternating flavors as you go. Gently smooth the top of the batter with an offset spatula.
Bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly pressed, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool the cake on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk in a medium bowl to make a thick but pourable glaze, adding a little more milk or sugar to get the right consistency. Drizzle the glaze into the ridges of the cake.
Cook's Note
When measuring flour, we spoon into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
