Spiced pumpkin cheesecake #TheCakeSliceBakers


I’ve been waiting for the weather change to bake this months Cake Slice selection. I had my choice picked out the minute we had our choices. I was hoping for overcast chilly weather, but it just didn’t happen. Low 80’s and clear skies made me wait till the last minute to bake. I even switched my choice! I had first selected the Maple Cake, but then decided I needed to give pumpkin cheesecake another shot! 


I dove into the recipe without reading the instructions. I realized half way through I needed to pat dry the pumpkin puree. That wasn’t going to happen, I skipped this step. I also made two other minor changes. The butter and spices were both cut back by half the amounts. Although I love spices, I just don’t like them overpowering everything else in the recipe. 
This pumpkin cheesecake turned out delicious! Creamy, light, and perfectly spiced! I’m definitely going to make this again!

I often dive into recipes without reading ahead too. So glad this worked out after all!

Your cheesecake looks divine. I hope your mom had a wonderful birthday and enjoyed the cake. I too misread and thought that the step was only if you made your own pumpkin puree, and scrambled at the last minute to press it. I've already decided that this is a must on my Thanksgiving menu as everyone loved it.

Congrats on a gorgeous cheesecake. The water bath seemed intimidating but with results like this it's worth a try.

Spectacular cheesecake Anabel! Love that your experience led you to make some changes and that the cheesecake was better for reduced spices.
