Fluffy Japanese Cotton Cheesecake Cupcakes

6. Cool Slowly

• Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly open. Let the cupcakes cool inside for 15 minutes to prevent shrinking.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely before unwrapping or serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Dust with powdered sugar for a classic look
• Add a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of berry compote
• Serve with green tea or a light coffee for a perfect pairing

Tips for Success

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
• Don’t skip the water bath — it ensures even baking and prevents cracks.
• Be gentle with the meringue — it gives the cupcakes their signature airy texture.
• Avoid overbaking. The cupcakes should be just set with a slight jiggle in the center.
