For the dough, mix the flour with the baking powder and sift it into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, honey, and butter. Knead everything with a hand mixer (dough hook) briefly on the lowest speed, then on the highest speed, until you have a smooth dough. Chill for a while. Roll out 2/3 of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a sheet (Ø 28 cm) and place it in a tart tin (Ø 28 cm). Knead the remaining dough with 1 tablespoon of flour, shape it into a log, place it on the pastry case as a border, and gently press it up against the tin. Prick the pastry case several times with a fork. Pre-bake for about 15 minutes using top/bottom heat: approx. 220°C (preheated), fan oven: approx. 200°C (preheated), or gas mark 4-5 (preheated). Loosen the base from the tin and let it cool. For the filling, whip the cream until stiff. Mix the cream cheese with the remaining ingredients until smooth and fold in the whipped cream. Spread the mixture onto the base and bake for about 40 minutes. Top/bottom heat: approximately 200°C (preheated), fan oven: approximately 180°C (preheated), or gas mark 4-5 (preheated). Let the cheesecake stand in the turned-off oven for another 10 minutes. Then let it cool.
