Probably it was from my oven but as it is, it's fine for me.
Am german, your cheesecake looks amazing! Would obliterate 10/10
Thank you!
Don't believe that other commentator, the one my grandma makes is exactly like the one you made.
Only thing that I would change in your recipe is to add more lemon juice. Then it's tastier for me. But you have to be careful not to make it too much.
I admit I thought the exact same thing. Needs more lemon.
Agreed, I've had lots of cheesecake like this, too. They're not supposed to be pale. I mean OP's oven seems to bake a bit uneven. The right side is a bit on the darker side. Still okay, but it won't get better if you bake it longer than that.
Id eat it
There’s a basque cheesecake, tarta de queso, that is renowned for its dark top like yours. I hope the extra brown gave it the extra flavor!
That is the next in queue to make! Already have a recipe.
