Japanese Cotton Soft Cheesecake

Ingredients:  140g/5 oz. fine granulated sugar 6 egg whites 6 egg yolks 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar 50g/2 oz. butter 250g/9 oz. cream cheese 100 ml/3 fluid oz. fresh milk 1 tbsp. lemon juice 60g/2 oz. cake flour /superfine flour 20g/1 oz. cornflour (cornstarch) 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions: (Preheat oven to 160deg) 1. Melt cream cheese, butter and milk over a double boiler. (Softening the cream cheese WITHOUT its foil, in a microwave helps speed up this step. Should take 15-20s depending on your microwave) 2.Cool the mixture. Mix in lemon juice, egg yolks and then fold in the flour and cornflour. 3. Whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Add in the sugar and whisk until soft peaks form. 4. Fold egg white mixture 1/3 at a time, to the cheese mixture until the batter is even. 5. Pour into a 8-inch round cake 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. (I left mine to cool for half an hour in the oven with the doors ajar as advised from other bloggers cos I was afraid that it would collapse suddenly if there was too big a change in temp) by JaimeTeo (  http://blog.omy.sg/jaimeteo/2010/03/13/japanese-cotton-soft-cheesecake/ )
