11. Baking Both CakesTo bake a cheesecake, you would need a pan/form bigger than the one you are using for the cake, Ex: roast pan.
12. Cover bottom of your cake form with foil and put it inside a bigger form filled with boiled water till it reached the middle of the cake form.
13. This way the sides will not get burned, and cake is evenly cooked and comes out creamy.
14. If this method is too complicated for you, just simply bake the cake the way you would normally do it.Put it in a preheated 300F oven.
15. Bake it till edges are set, the middle might be a bit jiggly.Take it out and let it cool then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
