We've all heard of a New York Cheesecake, but what's a London Cheesecake? Turns out this is a recipe from Nigella's family. What's special about it is the layer of sour-cream icing used to finish the cake off.
Unlike the Madeira Cake which was easy peasy to make, this was rather more complicated, and involved, amongst other things, a water bath in the oven for the cake (see picture to the right). I was afraid it might turn out wrong because I didn't have a cake pan of the right size (my pan was too big). 
But I needn't have worried - the result was a rich, creamy, smooth slice of heaven, with just the right touch of sourness. My husband loved it. I suppose having the right sized pan would've given me a thicker sour-cream layer at the top. Must try this again, hopefully with the right pan.
