When making a cheesecake, straining the batter before pouring it into the tin is a simple step that can make a HUGE difference to the final texture.
It will catch any lumps of cream cheese and make sure your eggs, and the other ingredients, are well incorporated, giving you a smoother batter and a finer, more even texture once baked. It works particularly well for rich, dense cheesecakes, like New York-style or Basque Cheesecakes, where that silky texture really counts.
You can strain the batter straight into the prepared tin or into a separate bowl first. And using the back of a spoon or spatula to gently press it through makes the process much quicker and easier.
If your batter contains finely grated citrus zest, skip the straining step or you’ll lose some of that fresh flavour and aroma.
And don’t forget to firmly tap your tin on the benchtop a few times before baking to help remove any large air pockets to make the texture even smoother.

Things like:
* keeping the butter at the right consistency
* knowing when to rest the dough
* maintaining distinct layers
* understanding how the lamination actually works
Once these make sense, everything changes – puff pastry suddenly becomes much more achievable (and far less stressful than people expect).
In my LIVE online class this Sunday 24 May, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the entire process so you can confidently make beautifully flaky puff pastry at home.
And if you can’t make it live, you’ll also get the recording to revisit anytime.
PLUS – if you’d like to continue building your pastry skills, there’s a 15% bundle available when you book both my Puff Pastry + Leavened Puff Pastry classes together.

In this session for BakeClub & Co. members, I’ll be exploring what makes Basque, New York, Japanese and Italian ricotta cheesecakes so distinctly different, and how technique shapes everything from texture to structure.
We’ll cover ingredient ratios, mixing methods, baking temperature, water baths, that signature “burnt” crust, and how to avoid common issues like cracking, sinking and overbaking.
Whether you love your cheesecake rich and dense, softly creamy or feather-light, this masterclass will give you the understanding to consistently achieve your preferred style.
If you’re not yet a BakeClub &Co. member, you can join at any time (you can do so through the link in my bio) – and if you join before tomorrow evening, you’ll be able to take part in this session.
And if you have a specific cheesecake question, pop them in the comments below and I’ll be sure to answer them in the class!

I have to admit, I’m currently having a bit of a love affair with brown butter in my baking, and this recipe is a perfect example of why. That deep, nutty richness works so beautifully with those oaty, coconuty, caramely flavours we already love in Anzac biscuits, taking them somewhere even more delicious.
These are generously sized biscuits with crisp, golden edges and a slightly soft centre – comforting, familiar, but with just that little extra depth that makes you reach for another … and another!
Find the full recipe at or via the link in our bio, and enjoy baking a batch to share in honour of our ANZACs.

If you’ve ever wanted to master buttery, flaky, perfectly crisp shortcrust pastry (without the stress or guesswork), this is your moment.
We’ll bake together in real time from 10am–1pm (AEST), and I’ll guide you step-by-step through the exact techniques I use so you can feel confident every time you make pastry at home.
We’ll also make a classic Quiche Lorraine – perfect for a relaxed Sunday lunch and a recipe you’ll come back to again and again.
Bookings close soon, so if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to jump in – you’ll find the link in my bio.
Hope to see you in the kitchen Sunday!

Fudgy, chewy, cakey or somewhere in between… the perfect brownie comes down to balance. In this masterclass, I’ll show you how a few small tweaks to ingredients and method can completely change your result – from that glossy, crackly top to the texture of the crumb.
We’ll cover chocolate vs cocoa, how sugar impacts structure and shine, when to whisk, stir or fold, how baking time shapes the final bake and how to avoid dry edges or an underbaked centre.
Got a brownie question? Pop it below and I’ll be sure to answer it during the session.

Hi, I’m Anneka Manning, an Australian baking and cooking authority with over 35 years of experience as an author, food editor, consultant, teacher and publisher.
I specialise in teaching not only the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind baking, which means that when you enrol in any of my classes, you know you’re going to finish it a more curious, knowledgeable and confident baker.
I know what home cooks want to cook. I understand the stumbling blocks that can sometimes stop them from achieving the desired results and I have the expertise, experience, and teaching skills to help them overcome them in a friendly, warm environment.
I am passionate about bringing real baking into Australian homes and inspiring home cooks with deliciously simple recipes relevant to their lives.
My friendly approach to teaching and writing comes with decades of experience and a firm belief in ‘simple food done well’, relying on sound basics, simple techniques and quality ingredients.
