Step-by-Step Instructions for Fluffy Japanese Cotton Cheesecake Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  3. Sift in all-purpose flour and cornstarch, gently folding until there are no lumps.
  4. In a clean bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form, then gradually add remaining sugar.
