It's been awhile since I baked a cheesecake. Though I am not a cheesecake lover, but I find cheesecake recipe quite easy. Today, I am going to bake Japanese Cheese Cake..To my surprise, both Abby & Ian loved the cake so much and they finished 2 pieces right away! The texture of the cake was soft and fluffy and the taste, cheesy, creamy and the aroma of lemon was quite strong..Best to serve with coffee!
