Nothing New? But its the ever-popular!

In the month of April, taking up another challenge #6 of Aspiring Bakers: Say Cheese! host by Jean of Noms i Must. I'm submitting my cheese post none other than my Japanese Cotton Cheese Cake, the ever-popular cheese cake my family adores.  It's one of the popular post here. With many of my cheese cake posts, u see Feather Light Cheese Cake, Cotton Cheese Cake,  Blueberry Light Cheese Cake,  Zebra Cotton Cheese Cake,  Light Cheese Cake Sticks, Coffee Chiffon Light Cheese Cake. It has to be the light, cottony, the only type the family consumes.
Hence for this event, i turned to another recipe i often use when the mices crave for cheese. Enjoy~
