Description
Known also as jiggly cake or Japanese cotton cheesecake, this sponge-cake-meets-cheesecake dessert is as unique as its name and description suggest. Minimally sweet and with less cream cheese tang than a New York-style cheesecake, its deliciousness is in its simplicity and its fluffy, airy texture. It sports a hint of lemon and a thin apricot glaze for shine, but otherwise it is best enjoyed delightfully unadorned. Thanks to Namiko Hirasawa Chen (Nami) whose Japanese Cheesecake post on her blog Just One Cookbook inspired some of the techniques used here.
