Light Cheesecake
The original recipe specifies a baking temperature of 150°C. If I bake it at 150°C for 60 minutes in my oven, the surface burns. Covering the cake with aluminum foil is also an option, but removing the foil will peel off the top layer and affect the appearance. Therefore, the baking temperature needs to be adjusted according to your individual oven.
Story
The original recipe recommends baking at 150°C, but my oven burns the cake surface after 60 minutes at that temperature. While covering the cake with aluminum foil is a possible fix, taking off the foil tends to peel off the top layer and ruin the finished look. As such, you will need to tweak the baking temperature to match your own oven's performance.
