Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (top/bottom heat). Line the bottom of a small springform pan with baking paper and grease the sides. Wash the lemon, finely grate about 1 tsp of zest, halve it, and squeeze out the juice.
  2. 2. Separate the eggs and place the egg whites in a bowl in the refrigerator. Heat the milk in a pot over medium heat and let the butter melt in it.
  3. 3. Whisk the cream cheese with the egg yolks, lemon zest, 1 tsp lemon juice, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Fold in the milk with the melted butter into the cream cheese mixture. Sift in the flour, starch, and baking powder, and whisk everything into a smooth batter.
  4. 4. Beat the egg whites in another bowl with a hand mixer and whisk for about 5 minutes until stiff. Gently fold the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture little by little.
  5. 5. Pour the mixture into the springform pan and gently tap the pan 2 to 3 times on the work surface to avoid air bubbles.
  6. 6. Place the springform pan in a deep baking sheet and fill the sheet with hot water. Bake the cake for about 20 minutes in the oven. Then reduce the temperature to 140 °C and bake for another approx. 30 minutes. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door closed for about 1 hour.
  7. 7. Take the Japanese cheesecake out of the oven and let it cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
