Spray pan with nonstick baking spray and line bottom (inside) with a circle of parchment paper. Meanwhile, boil several cups of water to use later.

Notes

  • Let your egg whites come to room temperature before adding them to the cake batter. Room temperature egg whites are easier to incorporate into the batter.
  • I use Wilton Bake Even Cake Strips to make perfectly even cake layers.
  • Prepare your springform pan by wrapping it in a double layer of foil before baking the cheesecake. Then spray the inside with plenty of cooking spray so the cheesecake slides out easily after baking.
