Japanese Cotton Cake (also known as souffle cheesecake) – using 3 ingredients

Ingredients serves 6
3 eggs
120g white chocolate
120g cream cheese

How to prepare
1. Preheat the oven to 170C. Separate the eggs and place the whites in a large bowl. Keep egg whites in the refrigerator to keep cold until you are ready to use them.
2. Place the chocolate (broken into pieces) in a large bowl. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water (60C/140F). Then add the cream cheese and blend them together. Remove the bowl from the heat, add the egg yolks and mix well.
3. In a large bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. You should be able to turn the bowl upside down without the mixture falling out.
4. Add 1/3 of the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture and blend well with a spatula. Then add the rest of the egg whites a bit at a time and mix well.
5. Rub some oil/butter on parchment paper and use it to line the cake tin. Pour the batter into the tin and drop the tin lightly on the counter to raise the air bubbles out of the batter.
6. Place the cake pan in a larger roasting dish. Pour some hot water into the dish and bake at 170C for 15 minutes, 160C (320F) for 15 minutes, then switch off the heat leave in the oven for another 15 minutes.

Your return is in holidays but like most investments, your capital is at risk. You may surrender your investment after two years (subject to deferral), though you will receive less than you invested due to charges and changes in the value of the fund’s assets. Initial payment of £5,000, quarterly fee of under £38 (around £150 annually), can increase in line with but not exceed RPIX, gives access to all HPB holiday homes. For each holiday pay a no-profit user charge covering property maintenance and facility use, average weekly costs around £372 for a studio, £569 for a two-bedroom property. Larger properties also available. After a 25% initial charge your money is invested in a fund of holiday properties and securities, which meets annual charges of 2.5% of net assets, calculated monthly.
