Time 3h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
½ cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 tablespoons cake flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
6 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
⅛ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons superfine sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Place cream cheese in a bowl with milk; soak for 20 minutes.
  • Heat cream cheese with milk and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely, at least 15 minutes.
  • Sift cake flour and cornstarch together into a bowl. Sift again into the cream cheese mixture; mix well. Add egg yolks and lemon juice and mix well.
  • Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until foamy; add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Fold cream cheese mixture into egg white mixture until well mixed; pour into the prepared pan. Place pan inside a larger baking dish and fill the baking dish with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Turn off oven and leave cake in oven with door ajar for 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheesecake turned out really dry. It was still edible, but not very enjoyable.

This cheesecake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the texture was dense and crumbly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. It was still good, but not great.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this one was really good. It was light and fluffy, and not too sweet.

This Japanese cheesecake was a delight to make and even better to eat! The texture was incredibly light and fluffy, and the flavor was perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
