"Very yummy!! It was my first time ever making a proper 3 layer cake and it turned out pretty good. Worth the time and effort.

"I have never made a cheesecake before and I wanted to make a chocolate cheesecake for my husband for Valentines Day. So Sunday night I attempted to make my first one. I used another recipe and it was a total disaster!!! The crust wouldn't stick and was crumbling, the cheesecake cracked like to tomorrow and then sank when I took it out of the oven. I like to think of myself as a pretty good baker and could not figure out what I did wrong. So the next day I was bound and determind to make it. I found this recipe and it was a breeze!!! Thank God for Nigella. The cheesecake came out perfect, it actually looked like I bought it from a bakery and I think it's the best cheesecake I have ever had.Like alot of other people I used cornstarch instead of custard powder. I wish it was alittle thicker, does anyone know if it would work if I doubled the recipe???
