Hi,

Thanks for the lovely recipe..Tried baking it using a 3 in 1 oven. H/w, my problems are similar to the rest. Do you have any inkling why the following occurred?

1) Cake did not rise much (pretty much compressed for a 8" cake tin)

2) The bottom & side of cake were wet while the top was alrdy brown

Thanks!

Hi, i tried baking the cheesecake but it did not turn out as well as yours. The cake did not rise up as high as yours and it was moist and dense at the bottom and the top of the cake is yellow in color. And i would like to ask if I should use a silver baking tin instead of a black one? cause i heard from others that the black tin may affect the temperature, therefore may overcooked the cake. And is the 60g of cake flour measured before sifting or not?
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

I tried baking the cheesecake yesterday.. However the cake texture did not turn out right. The cake was separated into 2 layers, the top is light and fluffy but the bottom is firm (i.e. just like steam-egg pudding). Why was this? What have I done wrong? Temperature too high?

Hi there,

I tried this recipe last night and was puzzled when the instructions do not state when the salt should be added. So I omitted it. There was no lemon juice available and so I substituted with lime juice. Also, I added grated zest into the mixture. When the cake was cooled, I made butter icing for the topping and grated more lime zest to for color. I had really good feedback from friends and am really glad I gave this recipe a go. Thanks!

Hi Kitchen Corner, thanks for dropping by. I used a cheesecake pan with removable bottom base (not a springform pan) but if you bake in a springform then, just unclasp it after your cake is cooled down to room temperature. Unlike American cheesecake, Japanese cheesecake need not be chilled though it can be just as nice. Chilled cakes are easier to release. If you use a normal cake pan, you can line your greaseproof with thick strips of paper hanging out of the pan so that you can lift it up when it has been cooled down.

Very nice baked cheesecake. May I know the cheesecake bake in a loose bottom springform pan or normal round pan? How to remove it nicely if using normal round pan? Thanks for sharing this recipe!

2009-08-19T19:11:26.019+08:00

hi Olivia. thanks for the compliments :P
i use a pan with a removable bottom which is flat. when the cake is done, let it cool down. just lift the base by pushing it up to remove the sides around it. and you don't need to overturn the cake, which will spoil such a delicate and soft cake.

the pan is known as a cheesecake pan. not the springform where you clasp or unclasp the sides. this one has a flat base and is removable. hope that helps! have fun baking!

Hi

Very beautiful japanese cheesecake. May I ask if you overturn the cake immediately when you remove the cake? Otherwise, how long did you leave the cake in the pan before you overturn it?

Cheers
Olivia

anonymous, lemon adds the tang for those who finds it too rich.. but you can omit it out if you prefer... i know a friend who hates lemon because it reminds her of toilets...lol

you can substitute other essence if you like, like vanilla or a nice melon essence...mmmmmm

2009-07-30T13:28:26.532+08:00

this looks like another great recipe! i don't really like lemon, so may I ask, does the lemon only add flavor to the cake or does it do something else? i'd like to leave it out, but afraid that it might affect the texture of the cake

2009-06-11T19:38:18.769+08:00

hi Assuntamani, could it be that you overwhipped your egg whites. The whites should be foamy with a soft peak, meaning when you whipped it,turn the beater up and the white should not be too stiff. an overbeaten egg will cause the cake to shrink a lot. the cheese cake may still shrink about 10% when it is fully baked though not as much as half sized. i usually just cool my cake outside (in the pan) on a the wire rack.

2009-06-11T17:16:36.966+08:00

Hi, I have tried the cake twice but in both time, the cake was really puffed up until the end of the bake. But as soon as the baking was done, the cake shrunk to half the size. First time I left it to cool in the oven in the water bath with the oven door open and then the second time I left it to cool in the oven in the water bath with the door closed. But in both times, the cake went to half the size while it was baking. It was fluffy and it even had cracks but during the cooling it shrunk. I am so jelous of your cake. Your cake looks very good. What is the best way to cool the cotton cheese cake.

wonderful life - you should try it. this one is nice and light. yes, Anonymous answered your question here.. (thanks Anonymous) while i was busy.

yes, its somewhat like sitting your pan on a bigger pan of water. if you worry that the water seeps into the cake pan, you can put wrap the outer later of you pan with aluminium foil before placing it in the water bath.

Bake cheesecake in a water bath for 1 hours 10 minutes

means that u put the cheesecake in a pan filled with water that comes about half way up the cake pan. this keeps the cheesecake from drying out.
