JAPANESE COTTON CHEESECAKE

Salam.

I baked this cake because I was angry to someone. He is super duper rude and no manner at all. Sigh. So the outcome was soooo perfect! (Angkat bakul sendiri nampak? :p :) This recipe has been requested by my high school's friend and btw, I've updated the recipe in my Facebook page few months back.

Ingredients

1. 140g/5 oz. fine granulated sugar
2. 6 egg whites
3. 6 egg yolks
4. 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar ( I add substitutes : Double action baking powder & sodium bicarbonate)
5. 50g butter
6. 250g cream cheese
7. 100 ml fresh milk
8. 1 tbsp. lemon juice
6. 60gm cake flour (sifted)
7. 20gm cornstarch (sifted)
8. 1/4 tsp. salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees

2. Melt cream cheese, butter and milk over a double boiler. Cool the mixture (put aside). Whisk the egg yolks with 40gm sugar until fluffy and colour changed. Fold in the flour, the cornflour, egg yolks batter, lemon juice, sodium bicarbonate, double action baking powder into cheese batter and mix well.

3. Whisk egg whites until bubble. Add in 100gm sugar (1/3 at a time - 3x) and whisk until soft peaks form. Fold egg white mixture 1/3 at a time, to the cheese mixture until the batter is even.

4. Pour into a 8-inch round cake pan (Lightly grease and line the bottom and sides of the pan with greaseproof baking paper or parchment paper).

5. Bake cheesecake in a water bath (bain marie) for 1 hours

6. Let it cool on the wire rack and once cool, remove the cake pan and baking paper. Ready to serve.

The taste was soooo good and  you won't regret :)
