Well...
this blog actually has been hibernate for a long time, but since Beth
Somers (OMG!) regram my Japanese Cheese Cake photo and curious about
the recipe, I'll share it with you! And usually I write my blog in
Bahasa but now I will dig down my dictionary so deep for this post.
LOL
As
long as I know, Rikuro Ojisan is the one who made it for the first
time and sell it in Osaka, Japan. That's the word Japanese came from,
I guess…
I got the recipe from surfing in the internet (ofcourse…) and a cheesecake cooking course (Yup, I was so curious with this cake and ended up with so many bad result).

Here
is the recipe:
250
gram cream cheese
125
ml heavy cream
60
gram butter
50
gram all purpose flour
50
gram cornstarch
5
egg yolks
lemon
zest (I usually skip this and use vanilla instead)
5
egg whites
125
gram sugar
1
tsp lemon juice
Heat
cream cheese, heavy cream, and butter together and whisk (I usually
use hand whisk) until smooth, no need to boil them. If you've already
got smooth texture, that's more than okay. Aside from the heat and
let it cool a bit. After this we will put the flours and we don't
want to cook them.
Mix
and strain flour and cornstarch together and put them into cream
cheese mixture. Mix until fully combined. Add egg yolk and lemon zest
and whisk and again mix until fully combined. Step aside.
Now
we'll going to beat the egg whites until foamy and add sugar slowly.
Keep whisking until softpeak. If you missed this peak, you'd better
crack another egg and start whisk the new egg whites.
Mix
cream cheese mixture together with the meringue, be gentle when fold
them together to keep them thick, you don't want a runny batter…
Preheat
the oven to 160°C and prepare a boiling water because we'll bake it
in au bain marie method. If you are using springform pan, make sure
the pan has been covered with alumunium foil. Pour the batter into
the pan and bake for about 75 minutes (yep, 75 minutes or even more)
until golden brown. Don't rush this process to get smooth and fluffy
cheese cake.
After
baking process, let the cake cool down and put it in the fridge about
a night, it'll easier to handle especially if you want to make a
double layer. I cracked it few times, but thanks for cake decorating
to cover the mess up.
For
the topping I used whipped cream and home made strawberry jam. Just
boil 1.5 cup chopped strawberry and 0.5 cup sugar for about 5 minutes
and then add 1 tbs cornstarch (mix with 1 tbs of water).
Unfortunately, i can't show you how this cake look in slice, because I gave it for friend's farewell and they slice it after I went home *oh please...*
