Blessing on Cheesecake

AA

Question

What is the blessing for a cheesecake that contains a mixture of flour and semolina? Thank you very much!

Answer

Hello,

If flour is added to the cheesecake to provide taste, the blessing should be mezonot. However, if the flour is added only to stabilize the cake, the blessing should be shehakol.

Sources: According to Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh Deah, Siman 208, Section 2) and Mishna Berura there.

With blessings,

Hillel Meirs
