There are many recipes which I have bookmarked & written down thinking I will make it someday. But that someday never comes. Japanese Soft Cotton Cheesecake by Dianasdessert is one of the many recipe lying in my  book since 5 years

Thanks to our Baking Partner Challenge this month given by Swati & Reeni , this recipe had the chance to come into making.

As the name suggest the texture of this cheesecake is soft like cotton & melts in the mouth.

I had started making this cheesecake thinking to give a marbling effect but as I always say – It is not necessary that you get what you think. Interruptions, circumstances… well in all I can say I just  put the cake in the oven forgetting to swirl my coco & plain cheesecake batter.

 So the result we have is  simple layered chocolate cheesecake. But guys, this is also not too bad. End result is still delicious.

Now to the recipe.
I have halved the original recipe.First of all start with preparing your spring-form tin.

 
  1. Grease & line the bottom & sides of the pan with the baking paper
  2. Take a large piece of aluminium foil & cover the tin on all the side
  3. Aluminium foil has to be covered in such a way that water does not seep inside
  4. Sprinkle a bit of plain flour on the bottom

Now to preparing the Cheese cake Batter

1,2,3   In a double boiler melt cream cheese, butter & milk. Remove from heat & cool completely.
4,5,6   Fold in yolks, lemon juice & cornflour & flour
7.       Prepared batter
8.       In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy
9,10   Add in sugar in two parts & whisk till soft peaks.
11.    Fold in whipped egg whites with the the yolk mixture.
12.    Not take 1/3 part of the prepare cheescake mixture & mix 2 tbsp of cocoa powder. Keep aside.  
        Pour the remaining half part of the in the prepared springform pan. Next spread over the cocoa 
        mixture & the remaining batter.
