Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Batter

Four ounces of cream cheese softened

Three tablespoons of unsalted butter melted

Four tablespoons of milk

Four eggs separated

One half cup of granulated sugar divided

One half cup of cake flour

One tablespoon of cornstarch

One teaspoon of vanilla extract

One fourth teaspoon of salt

For the Water Bath

Hot water for baking

For Garnish

Powdered sugar for dusting

Sweetened condensed milk or honey optional

Instructions

Step One Prepare the Baking Pan

Preheat the oven to three hundred twenty five degrees Fahrenheit

Grease and line the bottom and sides of an eight inch round cake pan with parchment paper
Wrap the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during the water bath

Step Two Make the Cheesecake Batter

In a heatproof bowl melt the cream cheese butter and milk over a double boiler stirring until smooth Remove from heat and let cool

Whisk in the egg yolks vanilla extract and salt until well combined
Sift in the cake flour and cornstarch then gently mix until smooth and free of lumps

Step Three Whip the Egg Whites

In a separate clean mixing bowl beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed
Gradually add the sugar while beating until stiff peaks form This step helps create the airy texture of the cake

Step Four Fold the Batter

Gently fold one third of the whipped egg whites into the cheesecake batter using a spatula
Continue folding in the rest of the egg whites being careful not to deflate the mixture
The batter should be light and fluffy

Step Five Bake with a Water Bath

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and tap it gently on the counter to remove air bubbles
Place the pan inside a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water about one inch deep
Bake for fifty five to sixty minutes or until the top is golden and the cake is set

Step Six Cool and Serve

Turn off the oven and leave the cake inside with the door slightly open for fifteen minutes to prevent shrinking
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before removing it from the pan
Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with sweetened condensed milk if desired

Serving Suggestions

Serve with fresh fruit such as strawberries or blueberries

Enjoy with a side of whipped cream for extra fluffiness

Pair with a warm cup of tea or coffee
