Thanks to a tip from The Rambling Epicure we were introduced to this recipe for Japanese cheesecake, posted by Just One Cookbook. It's lighter and fluffier than the cheesecake we know best, and it looks absolutely amazing. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

For someone who rarely bake a cake or any sweet desserts, I have a few reasons why I baked this Japanese Cheesecake (in Japan we call it soufflé cheesecake), not once but several times this past spring and summer.

The number one reason is that I have so many, I mean, SO MANY requests from readers for this cake. Thank you everyone who patiently waited for this Japanese Cheesecake recipe. I told some readers that I’d share “soon” but it took me a little longer than I initially expected – I’m sorry about my delay. I really wanted to try different recipes and tested them all out before sharing the recipe.
