Japanese Cottony Cheese Cake

I just bought a 3 sets springform pan the other day that come with 8", 9" and 10". So, I can finally make some cheese cake from now on. The first thing I want to make is Edith's Jap. Cottony cheese cake. I did make it before (2-3 years ago) using the shallow 9" pie pan, thus my cake won't be able to rise. I remembered that cake was only 1" in height and very flat.




Not too bad huh? However, I did manage to cook some of the egg yolks while pouring in the still warm cream cheese mixture (no patient to wait til it cool), thus I have pieces of cooked egg yolks at the bottom of the cheese cake. So, for those that haven't tried this recipe and wanted to try, remember to cool your cream cheese mixture first and don't end out like me. :P




Therefore, I have to cut off the bottom layer. The bottom layer was cut from the above picture. Still look pretty high hor? Like the name said, this cheese cake is cottony soft and not very sweet.





Her recipe can be found here. Thanks Edith! :)
