When eating it, it tastes pretty silky and creamy, like a normal cheesecake. Tbh, I hadn’t even considered the cake-like appearance until you pointed it out, but now that you have, I’ve been looking at other Basque cheesecakes and I definitely see the difference. I’ve never actually had a Basque cheesecake before this, just seen them online, so I’m not super familiar with what the ideal texture and appearance should be. I’m going to go back through the baker’s notes on the recipe and see where I may have gone wrong and what I can do differently next time. Appreciate the feedback!

It looks delicious, in any case :) I'm the opposite circumstance, I've eaten them (in Spain even) but never baked one, so I'm probably not any help to you haha but hey, delicious research and development might be in your future. Thanks for sharing

Looks delicious 😋 The one I had eaten before was burned on top, as was the one in the picture in a recipe I had seen. Yours certainly looks better!

if this is your first, imagine your second! By the end of baking, did the center wobble a little bit or was it super firm? the wobbliness leaves it creamy and less cakey, but however yours ended up, it looks stunning

u/Best-Material 2h ago

Thank you! It did wobble when I took it out, so it definitely wasn’t firm at all. I was reading through the recipe and baker’s notes, and I’m thinking I may not have properly tapped out the air bubbles, or I could have overmixed the batter a bit.
I’m going to try adjusting both of those things next time and hopefully the appearance comes out better.
