A cheesecake on a shortcrust base is a cake that will delight you with its taste and ease of preparation. A shortcrust base is often used in cheesecakes to break up the creamy filling structure.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- Margarine: 1/2 block
- Egg yolks: 3 pieces
- Sugar: 3/4 cup
- Cake flour: 2 cups
- Baking powder: 1 1/2 teaspoons

For the filling:
- Margarine: 1/2 block
- Sugar: 3/4 cup
- Vanilla pudding mix: 60 grams
- Vanilla sugar: 1 packet
- Egg whites: 6 pieces

Preparation
- Combine the ingredients for the crust and knead until crumbly.
- Beat the softened margarine with sugar and vanilla sugar, gradually add the egg yolks, then the cheese and pudding.
- Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks in a separate bowl. Gently fold them into the cheese mixture.
- Line a baking tray (24 x 35 cm) with parchment paper. Sprinkle 2/3 of the crust mixture on the bottom, then pour over the prepared cheese filling.
- Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture on top.
- Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hour and 10 minutes, then reduce the baking temperature to 150 degrees Celsius and bake for another 10 minutes.

To make the cake taller, it’s recommended to use a baking tray with dimensions of 25×30 cm.
