Japanese Sponge Cake
A light and delicious sponge cake, garnished with
fresh berries and whipped cream.
This cake is also called a Japanese Cheesecake or Cotton Cheesecake, but isn’t anything like a traditional American cheesecake. It is light and airy, but also with a creamy texture. This cake is not very sweet, and pairs best with a stronger flavor, like fresh fruit or jam.
This cake is baked in a water bath in an 8” cake pan, but needs a parchment collar to cling to as it cooks. Do not use an acetate collar. The beaten egg whites in the batter give the cake its lift, and it needs a non-greasy surface to support it as it bakes.
Add fruit and whipped cream to individual serving plates.

DAY 5: Chocolate Peppermint Bark Thumbprints
I love a dough that does double duty. I use half of this dough to make these cookies, and half to make Double Chocolate Thumbprints.
Be sure to not skip the refrigeration step. They need to chill first to hold their shape when baking.
And if you can find these precut candies, you will save a lot of unwrapping and crushing time:
