This is my first time doing the Japanese cottonsoft cheesecake, the texture, the moist and the method of doing it is the same like making the Angle Food cake or for fellow asian friend is Chiffon Cake. I been telling you the truth I has eaten it first time when I bought it frozen from Asian Market at Drury Street, Dublin City Centre. I bought 2 of them, thinking to left for my daughters, I don't expect the taste is so yummy and I end up eating all of them....what a selfish am I... ;(( Thank god I keep the wrapper and I know the cake name and finally I got the recipe from net. Very easy if you follow the method properly...
Japanese
Cotton Cheesecake
Ingredients: 140g/5 oz. fine granulated sugar 6 egg whites 6 egg yolks 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar 50g/2 oz. butter 250g/9 oz. cream cheese 100 ml/3 fluid oz. fresh milk 1 tbsp. lemon juice 60g/2 oz. cake flour /superfine flour 20g/1 oz. cornflour (cornstarch) 1/4 tsp. salt |
Instructions:
(Preheat oven to 160deg)
1. Melt cream cheese, butter
and milk over a double boiler. (Softening the cream cheese
WITHOUT its foil, in a microwave helps speed up this step.
Should take 15-20s depending on your microwave)
2.Cool the mixture. Mix in
lemon juice, egg yolks and then fold in the flour and
cornflour.
3. Whisk egg whites with cream
of tartar until foamy. Add in the sugar and whisk until soft
peaks form.
4. Fold egg white mixture 1/3
at a time, to the cheese mixture until the batter is even.
5. 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).
4. Bake cheesecake in a water bath for 1 hours 10 minutes or
until set and golden brown. (I left mine to cool for half an
hour in the oven with the doors ajar as advised from other
bloggers cos I was afraid that it would collapse suddenly if
there was too big a change in temp) |
