Japanese Cotton Soft Cheesecake

So i got introduced to this website by jo and it was suggested that we bake this cake for Eva :) Frankly, risky for bday cake for a first attempt since i wont be able to know the taste until the birthday girl tries it herself.

Japanese Cotton Soft Cheesecake!

Ingredients:
140gm icing sugar
6 egg whites
6 egg yolks
1/4 tsp cream of tartar (I substituted it with vanilla extract)
50gm butter
250gm cream cheese
100ml fresh milk
1 tbsp lemon juice (I also added in 1/2 lemon rind )
60gm cake flour
20gm cornflour
1/4 tsp. salt (I'm not too sure where this came in under the steps! )


Method :
1. Melt cream cheese, butter and milk over a double boiler. Cool the mixture. Fold in the flour, cornflour, egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon rind and mix well.

2. Whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Add in the sugar and whisk until soft peaks form.

3. Add the cream cheese mixture to the egg white mixture and mix well. Pour into a 9-inch round springform 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 at 160 DC.
