Hurray!!! Finally, a successful cotton cheesecake :) after 2 failed attempts few months back.I am really happy because this is something that I’ve always wanted to bake but what made me gladder was I finally understood why I failed in the past.
Personally, this is what I’ve learnt:
1. The egg whites need to be beaten until the mixture is stiff. I didn’t understand how egg whites can be stiff but it basically means beat it until it looks like mousse.
2. The egg yolk mixture has to be beaten until it’s creamy and light. When mixing in the flour, make sure it’s mixed evenly.
3. Just fold the egg whites and egg yolk mixtures gently.
VIP gave me 6 out of 10 points and I think it’s an honest feedback. Haha…
The recipe is from kuali.com (just type cotton cheesecake in the search box and you’ll find it. I do not have superfine flour, so I just used self raising flour and also substituted corn flour with custard flour. Yeah…ran out of corn flour too but hey, it turns out well too except the cake is more yellow due to the custard powder.
The best thing about overcoming a failure is that you’ll never be afraid of it again. You bet… I’ll try it again :)
