Yochana, Thank you for typing this recipe out. Thanks.
Hi Aunty Lucy,
Pardon me, but how did you make the 1 slice chocolate sponge cake? Can I use your recipe for the traditional sponge cake?
Thanks,
Angeline
Hi Angeline,
Yes you can but I used optima chocolate sponge. I have it in my blog...try to search for it.

Hi Aunty,
Made this cake over the weekend for my father's birthday. It was very delicious. The mousse filling somehow doesn't really stick to the cheese. Can you please enlighten me where I went wrong? Thanks.
Dear Delia,
Make sure your cheese filling is not too cold with all the cold sweat. Pat it dry and lightly roughen the surface before pouring the mousse.

hi Aunty,
I'm a lover of chessecake yet new to baking. Upon crossing your blog, the picture you have posted gave me an urge to do this cake!
However,i have a few doubts on doing this cake hope you can enlighten me =)
Firstly, may i know how do you know that the cream cheese mixture is done after baking for an hour? This is because i realise that my new oven's temperature is kind of not accurate. so can you enlighten me how to differentiate so as to ensure the cheese is not over baked.
At the same time, you mention in one of your steps" For mousse: mix gelatine with water and let it bloom. Microwave till melted." May i know is it possible to replace this step by melting the gelatine using the hot water as i do not have a microwave?
Lastly, how long does it require to chill the mouse layer before it is ready to add the last topping layer?
Thank you! =D
Hi anonymous,
Firstly, you set your timer for baking cheesecake and when the time is up, give a little shake on the tin and the cake will wobble to indicate whether it's cooked. If it wobbles badly, then it's not ready yet. A cooked cheesecake in the oven will normally be soft in the center and wobbles sightly. Just switch off the oven and let it sit inside the oven for 30 mins (this will do the end baking for the cheesecake) then open the door ajar to let it cool completely.
If you do not have a microwave oven, double-boil your gelatine mixture which means sitting the bowl of gelatine mixture in a pot of simmering water or you can just stir with some hot oven. I personally prefer to bloom the gelatine first before melting it.
Setting of mousse depends on how cold your fridge is. Just use your finger to test. If it doesn't stick to your finger anymore then it's set. Rough estimate time of chilling: 3 to 4 hours.

hi aunty,

hi aunty,
i've tried doing this raspberry cheesecake but the topping of mine, the colour is more dull and purple, brownish.. But yours is bright red and more appealing. May i know is it because of the raspberry jam that i've used? And if that's so, can i know what brand/kind of jam you've used?
M.I.L.U
hi MILU
Yes it's the quality of the jam. I bought mine from pastry mart. You can add in some red colouring if your's is too dull.

Hi
I would like to know the sugar you mentioned, is it coarse sugar or fine sugar (Those type of sugar we use for cooking, coffee etc)
I've tried the cheesecake over the weekend, instead of 1 thin slice of chocolate cake, i used digestive biscuit. the base is ok, but when it comes to mousse and the jelly, i failed bcos i think i made a mistake instead of setting the mousse for hours i pour the jelly on top of it within 1 hr, so is this the mistake that i made? So disappointed with the results.
Pls advise.
thanks
