It is not always easy to judge the moment when the cheesecake is baked and should be taken out of the oven. If you miss it, the cake will be dry or, on the contrary, raw and too soft inside.
The famous “stick” method will not work for this cake (it is always a bit wet inside). However, the trick of shaking the sheet pan comes to the rescue. To check if the cheesecake is ready, you can gently shake the tray at the end of baking.
The dough should come away from the edges and have a slightly gelatinous consistency (not liquid). Also pay attention to the color of the baked goods. The cheesecake must be slightly brown – “slightly tanned”, not pale.

The “shaking the cheesecake” trick is not everything. JIf you want to make a delicious cake, you also need to remember a few other rules. Thanks to them, your baked goods will always turn out perfect – delicate and creamy, with a crispy base.
Above all ingredients for the cake should be at room temperature. So don’t make the cheesecake right after taking them out of the fridge, and after putting everything out on the counter, wait an hour or two before baking.
The exception is whipping cream – it actually needs to be cooled when adding it to the cheese massotherwise it may not compact properly. And speaking of the cheese mass, do not mix it for too long to avoid unnecessary air formation (this increases the risk of the dough falling after rising).
When baking the cake, try not to open the oven too often. If you must do this, avoid sudden movements. Open the door of the device slowly, and after baking the cheesecake, leave it in the oven for half an hour, opening it ajar so that the temperature slowly decreases.
