Japanese Cotton Cheesecake


Today is my birthday! Yeay!! Hopefully, a year older a year wiser.... So, for this very special date in my life, I baked a cake for myself. Yes, I deserve a reward for being mature.... hahaha.

I was longing to eat Japanese Cotton Cheesecake for quite a long time, so, I decided to bake this cake. Luckily the recipe is easy. Here goes the recipe:

Source: Bisous A Toi (Kak Rima)

Ingredients:

  • 250g Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 60g Butter (softened)
  • 120ml Fresh Milk
  • 1tbsp Lemon Juice (omitted)
  • 60g Plain Flour
  • 30g Corn flour
  • 6 Yolks (lightly beaten)
  • 6 Whites
  • 1/4 tsp Cream of tartar
  • 120g Caster Sugar


Method:
  1. Preheat oven at 160degrees 
  2. Place the softened cream cheese, butter and fresh milk in mixing bowl and stir over double-boiler until melt and mixture is thick and creamy. 
  3. Let it cool, then add 6 yolks gradually and mix until well combined. 
  4. Sieve in the plain flour and corn flour to the batter and stir till mixed. Set aside. 
  5. In another bowl, whip the egg whites in till foamy, add in cream of tartar, continue to whisk. Gradually add in the caster sugar, whisk till stiff and peak. 
  6. Add one-third of whites into the cheese mixture and fold till incorporated. Continue with the balance. 
  7. Grease a 8" pan and wrap around the outside of the pan with aluminium foil.
  8. Pour the batter onto the pan. Bake in water bath for about 1 hour or until firm and golden brown (bake the cake by placing it on top of a tray of water)
  9. Turn off the oven. Leave cake in the oven and leave the oven door ajar to cool cake.
Verdict: This recipe is a keeper! Nyum..nyum... except that next time I'm gonna use 8" cake pan as recommended... huhuhu... kek ni sedikit rendah...huhuhu
