Japanese cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To make a Japanese cake, you will need only 3 ingredients: white chocolate, soft curd cheese and chicken eggs.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the mold (diameter 15 cm.): lubricate it with vegetable oil from the inside (you can use butter), spread baking paper on the bottom and sides.

3. Step 3:

   

   Break the white chocolate into small pieces, put it in a small ladle and melt it in a water bath, stirring it constantly with a spatula. White chocolate can be melted in another way, using a microwave oven. But then the pieces of white chocolate will need to be stirred every 15-20 seconds, each time turning the microwave on and off.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add softened soft cheese to the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly. A homogeneous mass should be obtained. We set the mass aside so that it cools down to room temperature.

5. Step 5:

   

   Separating the whites from the yolks. We put the bowl with proteins in the refrigerator.

7. Step 6:

   

   We introduce yolks into the cooled chocolate-curd mass, mix well, but do not beat the mass too much, otherwise the cooking process will be disrupted.

8. Step 7:

   

   Beat cold proteins to stiff peaks.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add 1/4 of the whipped whites to the chocolate-curd-egg mixture and mix in eight movements so that the whites do not fall off. Then add the remaining proteins and mix gently.

10. Step 9:

    

    Preparing a water bath for a Japanese cake. Pour warm water into the baking tray so that the level covers the baking dish by two fingers. In the center of the baking sheet we put a cake mold. We put the cake in the oven preheated to 170oC and bake it at this temperature for 15 minutes. Bake the next 15 minutes at 160oC. Then turn off the oven and leave the cake in it for another 15 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    We take the finished cake out of the oven and let it cool completely, after which we release it from the mold. Before serving, the cake can be sprinkled with powdered sugar.
