According to legend it is from the 19th century and is the result of an accidently burned cake, the top of which was eventually good and helped to keep the cake very fresh inside.

Tried it, a lot of instruction missing. This was not cheesecake like in texture or sweetness. Would make an ok breakfast, its pretty bland as is, maybe muddle some strawberries for topping.
