  7. Can I ask you a silly question? If you were to bake this in paper cups, do you still bake in water bath? I guess shorter baking time.

  8. Hi Yummy Koh,
    glad you enjoy this cake as much as we do. Please don't say that, no question is a silly question and i'm more happy to share what i learnt and know.
    To bake this using paper cups like what i did for the petite ones, i just place it on muffin trays with water bath. I believe this method will make the cake more softer. Hope this helps :)

  15. Hi there,

    this is my first time baking this cake, but no idea where did i fail.

    May i ask does over whip matter in the raise of the cake?

    i baked for 1 hour and 15 min, inside of the cake still turn out to be wet.

    can you advise me?

  16. Idly, i'm unable to troubleshoot the problem unless i follow through your steps to my guides to the T. However, per se to what you have mentioned regards to the rise of cake, i can only make a guess that you may have over fold your batter resulted a less rise cake. As for the time of baking, its subjective to different oven used due to the different heating element. You may have underbaked your cake. Hope your next try will be successful.

  17. You have a beautiful blog, keep up the good work. I have tried this receipe and it is delicious. However, the cake always crack on the top. I bake it on the lower rack in a 7" round pan in the water bath at 155 degree convection mode. The side of the cake also has creases when the cake cools and the height settled. I have lined the side of the pan but without grease. What could have happen? Please help.

  18. Anonymous: Many factors resulted to the cracks and creases. With what you have mentioned,my guess will be the temperature as different oven heating element works differently as the oven aged. You might want to consider to track the temperature using an oven temperature reader. HTH

  19. Nice blog! Sorry I have some questions.. Where can i purchase cream cheese and cream of tartar? How long do you whip the egg whites? How do you measured the milk in terms of grams?

  21. Thanks for sharing the wonderful recipe.All your cheesecake are gorgeous ! I tried this cotton cheesecake,mmmm taste nice, good, somehow I still do not satisfied the cake texture that I baked, it wasn't like yours in picture above. I guess the problem in beating the egg white. Don't u mind to elaborate more on this part.

  26. hi!
    i wish to bake this cake in cupcake size..... so do i need to remove the cupcake's paper once it done??
    just as you remove the mould once it done :)
    and i would like to know will it be too sweet if i add the blueberry jam topping as a decoration?? (as the one i seen in the picture)

    thank you!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Elle: not necessary to remove the liners. I don't find it sweet for the blueberry topping but to each of their liking. The blueberry used was a little sour so it balanced well with the cheese cake.

  28. thank you!!!

    can i use the blueberry jam as filling??? (for the cupcake)
