They are called Cheese cakes and the only recipe I know of is in the older versions of the Edmonds cook book. My mum used to make these on a regular basis and are by far my most favourite cake of all time!!! I haven't had one for years!!!! Now I want one!!!! or two lol Hopefully someone will have the recipe for them.

Just found this recipe on another thread:
CHEESE CAKES:
200g flaky pastry ½ cup sugar 3Tbsp raspberry jam 125g butter softened 1 cup flour 1tsp baking powder 2 eggs beaten
Roll out pastry to 200mm. Cut out 7cm rounds and line patty tins. Place ½ tsp jam into each pastry case. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add the flour and BP alternately with the eggs. Stir to mix. Drop large spoonfuls into the pastry cases. Bake at 200°C for 15-20 minutes. Makes 20. I seem to remember that crosses of pastry were put on top.

My mum made these a lot and usually used Damson jam. We always loved them and like shop-a-holic - I could do with one right now - in fact two would be even better!

The pastry on top was in the shape of a looped ribbon - like those lapel ribbons for Breast Cancer etcThere's something of a resurgence in retro baking - a local bakery is making old-fashioned Eccles Cakes.

cheese cakes.. pastry..raspberry jam.. patty tins Line patty tins with puff pastry... my pastry for custard squares, would be fine to use. Put ## custard squares ## in as your "key word" in the search, on the left of this page. you will find the pastry. Put 1/2 a teaspoon of raspberry jam in the bottom, a good spoon of the cake mix, and a little twist of pastry wrapped around your finger, on top. Bake 15-20 minutes @150%c Cake mixture...cream 125 grams of butter, 125 grams of sugar...add 2 eggs, 1 at a time...then fold in 150 grams of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder. This is a nice way of using up pastry you may have left over. enjoy

Brilliant, thank's all. I'll do a batch tomorrow. I made some raspberry jam out of tomatoes over the summer and though I don't like it as jam I've been making everything I can think of using it up in baking...like yummy louise cake. I made Eccles cakes a few weeks ago and some cream horns, I found the moulds in a second hand shop. Neither though with the jam. Cheers Matt

They're sometimes called 'Old-fashioned Cheesecakes'.. and are seriously delicious..a cafe just down the street from where I once worked had them for sale at morning tea time, hot from the oven - they were very popular..... :-)

Made a double batch of these little beauties but that started me thinking. Why are they called cheese cakes? Cheers Matt
