• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Line a round baking tin with two layers of baking paper, and lightly brush with olive oil. • To a large bowl, add cream cheese and half the caster sugar. Using electric beaters, mix until combined. • Add the eggs and light sour cream, then mix with electric beaters to combine. • Add the plain flour and salt and mix well to combine.
• Pour cheesecake mixture into the prepared tin. • Bake cheesecake for 30-40 minutes on the top rack of the oven until cheesecake has a little wobble in the centre. • Allow to cool completely in the baking tin, 30 minutes.
• While cheesecake is baking, zest orange to get a generous pinch, then halve. • Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat with the water, orange zest and remaining caster sugar and bring to the boil. • Squeeze in the orange juice, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and syrup has slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes. • Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• Once cheesecake has cooled, carefully remove cheesecake from the baking tin. • Slice burnt basque cheesecake and divide between plates. Pour over some orange syrup to serve. Enjoy!
