Ruby Chocolate Basque Cheesecake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C.

   Tip: Use a rack in the center of the oven for even baking.

2. 2

   Grind the ruby chocolate in a food processor until it forms a fine crumb.

   Tip: Be careful not to overprocess, as this can result in a grainy texture.

3. 3

   In a medium saucepan, combine the caster sugar, butter, and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.

   Tip: Be patient, as this may take a few minutes.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they become light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain flour, ruby chocolate crumb, and baking powder.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the flour before using.

6. 6

   Add the dry ingredients to the eggs and mix until just combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.

7. 7

   Add the cream, vanilla extract, and tartaric acid, and mix until smooth.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.

8. 8

   Pour the batter into a greased and floured springform tin.

   Tip: Make sure to grease the tin well, as this will help the cake release easily.

9. 9

   Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.

   Tip: Use a toothpick to check for doneness.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

    Tip: Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing it.
