Any Home Bakers Here?

I meant to write blackberries.

Regardless it sounds good. I'm not a wine snob I buy what's on sale and sweet my husband took me to the lake Erie wineries for my 40th a few years ago and I was in heaven with local non cheap wines lol

There was a chicken dealer in southern PA. He would invite you over, and get you to drink some of his homemade beer or hard cider. You would then leave with a crate of chicks you were pretty sure you didn’t need. It was a shame he passed away.

Did bake a cheesecake today. This is not a recipe, but a play by play of my modifications I made. Basic recipe is in previous posts.
I first made my cheese. As per Ron's suggestion,,, I wanted to have dough ready for oven as soon as dough is mixed. That is reason I made cheese first.
I used one of my containers of cheese, About 1500 grams. Added egg yolks, sugar,, raisins, vanilla, but skipped adding the pudding.
Again,,,,,,,, I am experimenting with different variations.

In my second mixing bowl I made my dough bottom. This is somewhat less stiff dough than the pervious one I baked. I added whole eggs, and the egg whites I held back from cheese, sugar, melted butter,, No other wet ingredients. I then measured out my flour,,,, and added/mixed into flour, the baking powder. I essentially made my self rising flour in my dry mix bowl. I did not want to chance baking powder getting lost, and not mixed well into dough mix.

I had the oven preheated at this point. Poured my dough into parchment lined pan,,, and then added cheese on top.

Tried my hand at simple decorating.. When I did the heart, I was thinking of you Ron,, (your info on baking powder, and baking soda dough) for not slacking off, and getting the cake into oven quickly. Heart also to show family I ,, and baking

I baked @ 350°F for 1 hour,,, 10 minutes. Below is just out of oven.

Below is cake when cooled. The color difference is only due to camera angle, and lighting.
I wasn't around when cake cooled,,, so DW, likes to pull tricks on me. She cut a narrow slice off the edge,, (left side) and a square out of the middle.
Of course she had no knowledge of what happened..

Notes.
The cheese is delicious, and soft texture. The dough is well rise, and soft texture also.
Experimenting is a JOY.

It looks tasty! It is in the google sheet in the hints, tips and how to tab.

Good idea when we use sourdough for chocolate chip.
I like them in bars also.
