easy bake oven or easy bake cake

Last Saturday is another milestone for me. Baking a cake, successfully.

Well, to regular bakers, it's nothing to shout about. To me, yes! Because I don't measure.

I baked a chocolate vanilla cheesecake. I used:

• A packet of Cream cheese (750 g), yes some of our cheese are packed in plastic tubes.
• Condensed milk (half can)
• 2 eggs
• sugar
• flour (I didn't measure, as usual, using gut)
• chocolates
• vanilla essence
• oreos

I mixed the eggs with icing sugar, add in the condensed milk, and cheese. (soften the cheese first!)

Next I add in flour, cake flour into the mixture. It's purely using guts. I mix in the flour until it's consistency is right. Runny like cake batters should. Light enough to hold it's peak. I never observe a cake baking in person, but I watched a lot of baking videos. Joy of Baking is one of them. Laura in the Kitchen, Masak.tv, Hilah Cooking, Caroline Milli ... among others

Then mix in the oreos, vanilla essence and chocolates.

Put the mixture in the oven at 150 centigrade for 40 minutes. Wait! I forget to mention another thing. I put the cake mould in a tray of water. Like one would do with Creme Brulee. 

One step I would do if I bake this the next time is to SEPARATE the egg yolks and use ONLY the egg yolks...

My brother commented on the egg white taste. It doesn't alter the taste but there's an eggy smell once I take the cake out from the oven.

A lesson for future baking, 

1. I'll separate the eggs.
2. I would ONLY bake a cake with water bath aka a la Creme Brulee
3. And be confident. Initially, I was skeptical. But my guts tell me not to. 
4. Baking can be easy as cooking (no measuring needed). One just have to see more.
5. Add in the oreos as soon as possible. I ate half of the oreos.
