Your cheesecake looks good, but there is no sugar in the base of the cake, only four. All other cheesecakes have sugar in them. Is this a typo? I am in the middle of making your cheesecake and not sure how much sugar to add, and does the flour get omitted?
Shelby
Hi Lorelee, there should be 1-3/4 cups sugar in the cheesecake batter.
