Tips for

Room temperature ingredients : make sure cream cheese, butter, and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth batter.

Don’t overmix: mix gently once you add the egg whites. Overmixing can make the cupcakes dense.

Water bath is key: the steam keeps the cakes moist and helps them rise evenly without cracking.

Check doneness early: every oven is a bit different, so start checking around 18 minutes.

• 1/4 cup “60 g” unsalted butter

How to Make Fluffy Japanese Cotton Cheesecake Cupcakes:

Step 1

Prepare the cupcake pan : line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Preheat your oven to 320°F “160°C”. Place a larger baking dish filled with hot water on the lower rack of the oven to create steam. This step keeps the cupcakes moist and prevents cracking and melt and mix : in a small saucepan, melt the cream cheese, butter, and milk together over low heat until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 2

Make the base batter : in a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar until pale. Slowly add the cooled cream cheese mixture, then sift in the cake flour, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined.

Step 3

Whip the egg whites : in another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the rest of the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. This step is what gives the cupcakes their airy lift then combine carefully : fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture a little at a time, being careful not to deflate the air.

Step 4

Fill and bake: divide the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean finaly cool gently: allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a rack. They may shrink a little, which is normal.
