Hi Jennie,
Thank you for trying the cheesecake but sorry to hear that it doesn't always turn out the way you wanted it to be. I used the superfine flour for this cheesecake and if you can't find it in Perth you can try using Hong Kong flour instead.Cake flour does not contain any baking powder.
Do let us know the outcome if you do try it again. Thanks.
By the way, have you try the Marble Baked Cheesecake. This cheesecake is easy to bake and plain flour is used instead of superfine flour.Try it someday. You can view a photo of this cheesecake at Diana's Homepage under "Guest Recipe Book"
Happy Baking,
Irene

Hi Irene,
I've baked your cheesecake quite a few times now, but it doesnt always turn out fluffy, what flour do you use ? I used plain four as opposed to self raising flour. Does 'cake flour' have baking powder in it ? We can only buy plain or self raising flour in Australia although I do have sponge flour and Hong Kong flour.
Thanks,
Jennie

Hi Irene & Shimul,
I just tried the recipe again today. think the effect is better. Not as wrinkled. I took the cake out of the oven immediately after it is done, and out of the water bath to cool on the rack. Thank so much for your advise. 
Many thanks,
May

Hello Irish,
Thank you for trying out the recipe. In this recipe you have to use room temperature instead of hot or lukewarm water for the water bath. If you do try again do let us know the outcome. Thanks

Hello May,
Thanks for trying the cheesecake. I do not really know the reason why the surface of your cake gets really wrinkled. Maybe it is because you have your cheesecake in the oven for too long. I usually remove mine from the oven immediately after baking.
By the way, did you see the cheesecake Kris posted at Japanese Cheesecake Pic. If you haven't please do take a look. She baked one very beautiful Cotton Soft Japanese Cheesecake.
Happy Baking

p/s Maybe Diana can give us an answer as to why the surface of the cheesecake get so wrinkled.

I have not made this recipe, but when I normally make cheesecakes, I let them cool in the oven for about an hour with the door open and then stick them in the fridge or freezer after that. Not sure if this will prevent the wrinkling, but worth a try.

Hi,
I have just tried the recipe 2 days ago. It tastes really good.. But I noticed that when the cake is cooled, the surface of the cake gets really wrinkled.. Is it because I had left the cake in my microwave/convention oven to cool..(with oven door closed)? What should I have done? Can someone advise me.
Thanks and regards,
May

Hi again Irene,
I have to let you know that since I posted the last comment, I've made 3 more of those cheesecakes! haha I recently baked it for thanksgiving instead of traditional pumpkin pie. Big Hit!!
I'm a novice baker and like to experiment with new recipes. I got the recipe for the Chocolate Ribbon Cookies you saw on my photo album through MSN website. Your daughter will have much fun making them too. As for the cream puffs, it's really simple! Let me share it on a new topic.
And to Diana, I simply love your website! There isn't many websites out there with picture to every recipe and yours are all mouth watering. 
Cheers,
Kris

How about you? Why don't you share with us some of your recipes. Saw the pictures you posted and they look so tempting.Your Lemon Herb Chicken looks delicious and the cream puff look good.
My daughter like the Chocolate Ribbon Cookies. I am sure all of us will appreciate if you can share the recipes with us. Thanks
Happy Baking,
