JAPANESE COTTON SOFT CHEESECAKE

This was posted on FB by a Yvonne Ruperti and looks so good. There's a similar one on here, but this one uses sour cream and flour to help it rise and gives a texture that I enjoy. Similar to cheesecake but lighter version that's airy from the meringue folded in and not so sweet. Lemon juice and sour cream give it some traditional cheesecake appeal. You will need an 8" spring form pan

Time 55m

Yield 1 8" cale, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
5 large eggs, divided
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperture
1/3 cup cake flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

The beaten whites are medium peak when the peak gently and partially flops over after the whisk is lifted. When pouring water into pan, keep it below the foil or water will seep through and make the bottom of the cake soggy.
  • Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and preheat to 340.
  • Grease bottom and sides of an 8" by 3" springform pan and wrap bottom half of pan with foil to creat a waterproof seal. Set into a roasting pan.

  • Beat in egg yolks and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Replace paddle attachment with whisk attachment.
  • Whisk in Lemon juice and sour cream on medium speed, scraping down sides and necessary with rubber spatula, until combined.
  • Sift flour and cornstarch over batter and whisk until completely combinedTransfer mixture to a large bowl, using rubber spatula.
  • Thoroughly wash and dry stand mixer bowl and whisk (a dirty bowl will prevent whites from aerating properly).
  • Using mixer's whisk attachment, beat egg whites and cream of tarter on high speed until frothy. Slowly pour in remaining sugar and continue to whip to medium peak stage. Don't over whip.
  • Fold a third of the meringue into batter with rubber spatula until almost combined.
  • Gently fold in remaining meringue in two more batches.
