1 - There were a couple of factors. One is that I used a (f*$&@ing) fat-free yogurt to make my cheese. Oh, right, and I did not use 'fromage blanc' but yogurt cheese (strained yogurt). The other is that I used Arrowroot powder. Next time, I'll use full fat yogurt cheese, and I will use regular wheat flour. It may simply be that I have to add baking soda or powder but I'll try this first.

4 eggs

500g fromage blanc or yogurt cheese

100g sugar

90g flour OR Arrowroot powder OR Cornstarch

Zest from 1 lime or 1/2 lemon

OR

1 Tbsp vanilla

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. In a large bowl combine the cheese and the sugar.
3. Separate the eggs and mix the yolks in to the sweet cheese mixture. 
4. Add the flour/powder to the bowl, then the lemon zest or vanilla. Set aside.
5. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently combine with the cheese mixture.
6. Generously grease a spring form pan (20cm? 30cm?) and pour in the batter.
7. Bake for 30 minutes, then allow to cool for 1 hour before taking it out of the mold.

Note: If you can't find fromage blanc, a tangy fresh cheese, you can substitute with either an equal amount of quark, or a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of buttermilk blended with cream cheese.
