japanese cotton soft cheesecake

the above picture is a replica of a volcano

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..

hah.. its good to be able to laugh at yourself!

i pestered my husband to buy eggs..

just because i was itching to make

the japanese cotton soft cheesecake

or also known as japanese soufflé cheesecake

i read from the above link (aggieb.com)

that you have to leave it for 50mins in the oven

i left for more than 5hours!!

(it was way past 11pm.. my sleeping time..)

hence the shrinky-ness..

and another reason found from here

the oven door.. it is shut. close. tight.

i didnt hear my cake screaming for help!

my cake is suffocating..

pity you dear..

am so sorry..

:(

i am still wondering..

the reason for my cake's invisible layer

you cannot see the layer

but you can taste it!

the upper part is soft, light & sweet

the lower part is heavy & cheesy!

is it because i took so much time to prepare the waterbath?

yep. the cake is already in the oven..

and i use my 2C measuring cup + 2big mugs

and i made 3 trips!

haha..

orang budus yg rajin :p

i will definitely try it again..

with these few notes in mind:

1. oh! oh! i found another mistake! i did feel something is not right when i double-boiled everything: milk, cream cheese, butter & egg yolks! hah! the egg yolks were almost cooked! kuikuikui.. oh! maybe that is the reason for the invisible layer??
2. preheat the oven earlier.. i preheated only 5mins before the cake goes in.
3. leave the oven door ajar after it is baked/ brown atop ~ abt 30mis is enough i suppose? our current room temperature is so very high and the cake wont get its shock of lifetime :p
4. remove the cake from the pan once it is outta oven (after 30mins of relax)
5. hmm.. what else? owh! i will prepare my hot water in bigger volume so that i'll be done with 1 trip only :D
6. mental note: need to buy grease paper & aluminum foil. meanwhile.. i might use normal cake pan. i can get rid of the foil. grease the pan with butter & dust with flour.. sep duit!

verdict:

if i sliced off the lower part..

it will taste just like store-bought!

hehe.. hantam sajala labuuuuuu.....
