2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

A pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

3-4 ripe bananas, mashed

🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prep Dry Mix: Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Wet Mix: Cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, then fold in the mashed bananas.

Burnt Matcha Basque Cheesecake

Rich, creamy, and beautifully caramelized on top with a delicate matcha flavor. One bite and you'll actually sigh—it's that good!

Ingredients
500 g (17.6 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
12 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 large eggs
250 ml (1 cup) heavy cream or all-purpose cream
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons matcha powder

💡 Tip: For a taller, thicker cheesecake, multiply the recipe by 1.5.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F).
Line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend above the sides of the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pour in the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour and matcha powder into the batter. Fold gently until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is deeply caramelized (almost burnt) while the center remains slightly jiggly.
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Prep & Cook Time
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 40–45 minutes
Cooling Time: 1 hour
Chilling Time: 4 hours (or overnight)
Total Time: About 6 hours (including chilling)
Tips
Use room-temperature ingredients for the smoothest batter.
Don't worry if the cheesecake looks very dark on top—that signature caramelized crust is what makes a Basque cheesecake unique.
Chilling overnight creates the creamiest texture.
Dust with a little extra matcha powder before serving for an elegant finish.
