Japanese Jiggly Cake – Light Cheesecake
Jiggly cotton cheesecake, sometimes referred to as Japanese jiggly cake or light cheesecake, is a soft, elegant, airy, and delicious cake. It is great served up with some whipped cream or ice cream. Believe me, your family and friends will love it.
There are a few suggestions and alterations to making this cake. Firstly, a spring form pan makes the execution of the cake much easier. If you do not have one, any round 6 inch pan will suffice. Just be sure that you use the parchment paper and spray the sides well.
You can use any brand of cream cheese. I always use Philadelphia cream cheese as it is one of my favourites. Two percent milk and unsalted butter are best for the mixture.
When separating the egg whites from the yolks, be sure not to get any yolks in with the whites as they will not whip properly. To separate them, you can use your hands, the shells, or an egg separator. Also, make sure the eggs are at room temperature.
The vanilla extract is optional, but I find it adds some additional flavour to the cake. You can use lemon zest too if you like.
It is also important to note that when whipping the egg whites, they need to get to the point of stiff peaks. You will know they are stiff peaks when they stick to the paddles and hold their positions.
The water bath is important in the baking process. Make sure that the water is very hot when adding it to the tray in the oven.

Cooking cake
2-7 days before preparing the cake, pour the frozen or fresh pitted cherries with cognac. If the cherries are sour, then add granulated sugar 1-2 tbsp. spoons. Close the container with the cherry lid and leave at room temperature.
Prepare a biscuit. Place eggs and sugar in an enamel bowl. Place the bowl in a container of boiling water. Whisk the egg-sugar mixture with a whisk until it becomes thick. Then remove the bowl from the pan onto the table. Continue beating the mass with an electric mixer until it cools down. The mass should become lush, increase in volume.
Next, gently mix the resulting mass with a spoon, mix with cocoa powder and flour.
Grease a baking dish with oil and sprinkle with a little flour. Put the prepared dough in a mold and place the biscuit to bake in the oven. Cook at an oven temperature of 180 ° C. Check the readiness of the biscuit by dipping matches or toothpicks into it: if the removed sticks remain dry, then the biscuit is ready.
Thoroughly grind the softened butter and the remaining 2 ½ cups of sugar. Gradually adding the cooled mass of milk, eggs and sugar to the butter and sugar mixture, continue stirring. Add vanilla sugar. To mix everything.
Collect the cake. First, cut the biscuit in half horizontally, remove the whole crumb from each half with a fork or spoon so that only the walls of the crusts remain. It turns out a kind of «boxes».
The removed biscuit crumb, grind into a relatively even mass so that there are no large pieces. Add a third of the total volume of the cream to the crumb and grind, and then mix the resulting mass with 1/2 of the entire cherry, which must be removed from the cognac. Divide the cherry-cream-biscuit mixture in half and place back in the «boxes», which are previously lightly greased with cream from the inside.
Cover the bottom half of the cake with some of the cream, spread the remaining cherry on top, leaving a few berries for decoration. Spread the remaining cream on a layer of cherries, smooth everything.
Connect both halves of the cake. To do this, cover the bottom half of the cake with the top half, placing it with the slit down. That is, the biscuit returned to its previous appearance, only the inner contents were enriched with a delicious filling.
Prepare the icing to decorate the cake. To do this, break a bar of chocolate, place the pieces in a heat-resistant bowl, add 4 tbsp. spoons of milk. Place the bowl in a water bath, melt the chocolate.
Pour the icing on the top and sides of the cake with the resulting icing, level it with a knife if necessary and, putting the finished cake in the refrigerator, cool it well and give time to soak. If desired, decorate the cake with the set cherries and coarsely grated chocolate on top.
