Albion have lost only once since Hasselbaink took over as manager in mid-November, but the former Chelsea striker said:
"For me it's now all about Wimbledon on Tuesday. We were very professional and that was very pleasing. We're always happy with three points, but we're taking each game as it comes."
Striker Stuart Beavon opened the scoring in the 21st minute with his fifth of the campaign.
Blackburn loaned winger Darragh Lenihan's low shot from the edge of the box was poorly cleared by Robins skipper Matt Taylor and Beavon hooked in a volley from fourteen yards.
Adam McGurk took advantage of a flat-footed defence to add the second in the 36th minute.
Fellow winger Lucas Akins crossed the ball from the right flank and it was flicked on by striker Jacob Blyth for McGurk to nod in unopposed for his fourth goal of the season.
Right back Phil Edwards made sure Burton's unbeaten run stretched to ten games four minutes after the break.
McGurk floated over a corner from left and Edwards found himself totally unmarked five yards out to cooly head in his fourth goal of the season.
Bristol City loanee Wes Burns scored a consolation goal in the 55th minute.
Debutant winger Burns darted into the area from the right and unleashed an unstoppable shot past keeper Jon McLaughlin from twelve yards.
Cheltenham boss Paul Buckle started with five transfer deadline day signings as he tried to arrest the club's slide and he said:
"To get out of trouble or be a top team you need to do your jobs and then a little bit more. At this stage if we finish third from bottom it'll be a successful season."
