This is one of the recipes which I have been eyeing for a long time now. I never liked the word cheesecake, somehow blogging and the amazing pictures caught my attention. After tasting this light and soft cheesecake, I doubt if I would go back to the normal cakes. Anyway, we enjoyed this cake a lot, to the extent that me and my kids polished it off within two hours, I'm sure you'll enjoy making this.
Recipe source: The Sweet Spot
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time : 1 hour 20 minutes
Makes about 8 to 9 slices
Ingredients:
Cream Cheese- 250 g
Egg yolks-6
Egg whites- 6
Plain flour- 80 gm
Baking powder- 3/4 tsp
Butter- 50 gm
Milk-100 ml
Sugar- 140 gm
Vanilla essence- 1 tsp
Grated lemon zest- 1/2 tsp
Method:
Melt together butter, cream cheese and milk in a double boiler until it reaches a liquid consistency. Pass it through a sieve to make it lump free. Let it cool down for a while, add the vanilla essence, lemon zest and egg yolks. Sift the flour and baking powder into the cream mixture. Gently give it a good mix.
Beat the egg whites separately using an electric mixture until it looks like foam. Add the sugar little by little and beat until it reaches a glossy look.
Fold the egg white mixture into the cream cheese mixture little by little. Preheat the oven 180 degree Celsius. Grease and line a 8 or10 inch round cake tin. Pour the mixture into the cake tin, place it in a water bath and bake it for about 1 hour 20 minutes. Leave it to cool in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven. Carefully remove it from the tin, slice and serve.
Note:
The oven temperature might vary for different oven, so check after 1 hour to see if it's cooked by inserting a skewer in the middle. If the skewer comes out clean, then it's cooked.

Wow! Now this is quite simple and sounds pretty easy. I have some fresh cherries lying in the fridge, guess now I know what how to use 'em.
Light goes out every hour. One hour is good but the 20 additional minute doesn't sound that good :S will a smaller pan, cook the cake in an hour or less?

Hi, what is the size of the cake tin for these amounts of ingredients?
Thanks.
The texture of the cake looks amazing, very light and spongy...very nice
Thank you everyone for the lovely comments.
@ Rinda, it's 8 inch round cake tin, not the sandwich tin. Use springform or anything which is high raised tin. Thank you, hope this helps :)
Lovely clicks and cheese cake looks so airy and the mild color tempts me to have some :)

I made this cheese cake today. It came out well but the top got browned. Then when I inverted it, it looks fine - the same color and texture as yours. Just wondering if I should have covered it in the bath when I baked it. I immersed the cake pan in the baking dish filled with water in the oven and left it open. I see in your pictures the bottom of your cake too is not brown.
One more thing........ should this be chilled or kept at room temperature for best taste?
thanks
