Recipe: Light Japanese Cheesecake

I KNOW! IT HAS BEEN QUITE SOME TIME!


I am really sorry for not updating my blog for sooooooo long. Please forgive me. I'll be trying out some other new recipes soon and I will be more diligent then. :)


Ingredients
140g caster sugar
6 egg whites
6 egg yolks
50g butter
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
250g cream cheese
100ml milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
60g plain flour
20g corn flour
1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions


1. Preheat your oven to 160 degree celcius


2. Melt cream cheese, butter and milk over a double boiler.


3. Cool the mixture and mix in the lemon juice and egg yolks.


4. After that, fold in the plain flour and corn flour.


5. Whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff. Add in the sugar and whisk till soft peaks are formed.


6. Fold in the egg white mixture 1/3 at a time to the cheese mixture. The more gentle and slowly you carry out this process, the more foamy and light your cake will be. Make sure you fold in evenly.


7. Pour into an 8-inch round cake tin which has been greased or lined with parchment paper.


8. Put this 8-inch tin into a bigger 10-inch tin and fill the 10-inch tin with water to about 3/4 the height of the 10-inch tray. This is like a water bath to allow even cooking of the cheesecake.

9. Bake for 60 minutes.





Sorry for the poor quality pictures. I seriously loveeee this cake because I always wanted to try making this on my own. And now that I have tried it, I'm very happy because it tastes super good.
