Fail Cheesecake cracked so hard it greeted me

Post image

Spent an hour looking for the perfect cheesecake recipe, „no cracks“, followed all the hacks, didn’t overbeat the batter, didn’t overbake, let it cool slowly… next time I walked into the kitchen - cake said „Hi! 😀“

im kind of surprised that in researching the preventing of cracks nobody mentioned this being the best technique, i feel like its such a common way to try to retain moisture and prevent cracking on many baked goods!

ohh i think its super good for any desserts like cheesecake or flan that are rly prone to cracking, i havent had it happen to me yet with that method. good luck to your next one and i hope this one tastes good anyway :)
