This is my favorite baked cheesecake adapted from Alex Goh cookbook. I have baked many times and the outcome is great! If you are using spring foam it is advisable to line the base with baking paper. It will ease the process of transfer cheesecake to cake board. You may omit the marble and keep plain. It tastes good on its own too.
