This recipe was good and very easy to follow, although pretty time-consuming.
A few reasons for the less-than-five rating ... One is that even though I doubled the white chocolate in the cheesecake, people still couldn't taste it in the cake unless I told them it was there, so I figured next time, I'll leave it out and save a tiny bit of fat (there's lots more where that came from, and the white-choc flavor really comes from the sauce!) ...
I added a graham-cracker crust (just butter, sugar, and crushed graham crackers), and that was a good add.
The sauce was great, but I keep discovering I don't like alcohol in cooked food, just personal preference. So I think next time, I'd make the same sauce but leave out the brandy -- not sure if it will turn out too thick, but at least my kids will be able to eat it! (I refrigerated mine before serving, and it was not runny at all as compared to other reviewers.)
Be careful not to overbeat the cake mixture, or you'll get bubbles. I used the bath, and it was done very nicely.
