Cheese Cotton Cake


Every time we have our pizza delivery order, my family usually will never touch the parmesan cheese given. In order not to waste it, I flipped thru my collection of recipes, found this recipe, modified into smaller portion and was quite happy with the end result.

The cake texture is actually not much different to Japanese cotton cheesecake. However, the taste of cheese in this cake is stronger because of sliced cheese compare to cream cheese. And with additional of only 1 tbsp parmesan cheese, it really made a different, it enhance the cheese flavour.

  6. we have this in Taiwan, most bakeries have it. But sadly, none of them have mastered it. In anycase, I love it with milk or perhaps even some berry coulis.

  8. Hi Made2Order,
    What do you mean by 'none of them have mastered it'? I ever heard from forum baking about Taiwan cotton cheesecake, and I wonder whether it is same like Japanese?

    Hi Jess@Bakeriecious,
    Yes, it taste just nice for my liking, not too strong. Thanks.
