Pls remember my cheesecake as on the pic above – delete all other pics you are gonna see later in this post. ok? haha..<\/p>\n

So BH encouraged me to try the cheesecake again.. and we followed a different recipe. We used this recipe <\/a>instead. This recipe is super easy to follow and it DOES NOT need flour or butter!! I was shocked but decided to try it out. If you are wondering whether corn starch = corn flour, I think it’s the same as I used corn starch. ( Can’t find corn flour here)<\/p>\n

Everything went on smoothly this time round as we learnt from our previous experience.<\/p>\n

I only have 1 mixing bowl for my mixer.. so we modified the recipe abit – like I sequence the beating of egg whites 1st then beat the cream cheese. (\u00a0Keeping my fingers crossed that it will not affect the end\u00a0product)<\/p>\n

Things to note, I did not add lemon juice as indicated in the recipe as we don’t like the ‘sour’ taste in our cake ( and i forgot to buy lemon!!!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

with the help of ………..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

which was operated by ……..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

once egg whites becomes foamy and soft peaks, we washed the bowl and began<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was very anxious to know the outcome. I knew it was gonna be a sucess when I saw the end result (1st pic) yay!! Happy!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Story:\u00a0We wee rushing out so I switch off the oven and left the cake in the oven, thinking that It shld be alright in there… HOWEVER……..<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

yeah right… high five for we did a “failed” cheesecake again? \ud83d\ude41 geeez… though it taste great!<\/p>\n

Cheesecake is soooooooo sensitive.. Upon reflection and some research, I believe these are some of the reasons my cheesecake sank ( after rising):<\/p>\n

1) Folding egg hwite\u00a0technique was not good – we could have folded too much, or not gently enough. Some of the air escaped.<\/p>\n

2) Not folding into the batter right after the egg whites reached soft peaks as I needed to mix the batter. ( some air could have escaped) I need TO GET ANOTHER BOWL<\/a> FOR MY MIXER<\/p>\n

3) The temperature in the oven is toooo high. Will reduce to 300F instead of 350F<\/p>\n

4) Need to bake longer – top of my cake is not completely brown<\/p>\n

5) I need to use boiling water for the water bake. I used hot water ( not boiling hot)<\/p>\n

Will sure try this again! Wish\u00a0us luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
