Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- 2. In a mixing bowl, stir in the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs and 2 Tbl sugar just until they become moist. Put enough crumbs in the pan to fill the bottom. Press firmly( do this with a measuring cup) and put in the oven for 10 minutes. Take out and allow to cool
- 3. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth; add the mascarpone. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and Amarula Cream liqueur.
- 4. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared cake pan and, drop heaping tablespoons of Caramel Topping onto batter. Using a toothpick, take the caramel and swirl around cheesecake batter. (Do not try to even the batter by dropping pan on counter!).
- 5. Place an 8" cake pan filled with hot water in the bottom of the oven.(this will create a steam bath for the cheesecake without putting it into a waterbath. Place cheesecake on center rack of oven, Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the middle is set. (Cheesecake should be golden on top, spring to the touch -- but still a little wabbly. Toothpick insert should be clean.
- 6. Remove cheesecake to counter and let cool. Place in refrigerator for 2-3 hours to set completely. For Best results and taste, set overnight or at least 6 hours before serving. (I can never wait this long -- so I make it at night and put in the refrigerator for the next day).
- 7. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on serving plates. Place sliced cheesecake (I use dental floss to get a clean slice) and Garnish with Whip topping and chocolate shavings, or make a chocolate center piece as shown.
AMARULA CHEESECAKE
As called several times, the Amarula Queen, and the love of cheesecakes, I had to post this recipe. Taking the ingredients of my favorite cheesecake and adding a little Amarula this makes a decadent, rich and creamy cheesecake that gets rave reviews. This was in my Secret Recipes, but I decided to go ahead and make it public for Zaar! I always bake my cheesecakes in a water bath... this makes them really moist.

Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting the cake batter. This will help the ingredients incorporate smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Measure the flour correctly. Too much flour can make the cake dry and dense. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup, then level it off with a knife.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly and bakes through properly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

The Amarula cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed for any occasion. With its rich, creamy flavor and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
