Japanese Cheese Cake Recipe Test - Flopped

So, I found another Japanese cheese cake recipe.  I can't remember from where I got it.  But the test was disappointing.  I should have stayed with my recipe completed previously successfully.
Here is the pic results of it.
Dense!!
Not sure which URL I got it from... I think it was from the YouTube...

Lined the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.

Beat egg whites to Stiff.

 Because my cake mold has a removable bottom, it was wrapped to prevent water from Bain Marie to sip into cake batter.

 Hmmm... the cake did not rise.   My Bain Marie may have been too shallow.  I should have used a deeper and smaller pan?

 Not enough flour/cornstarch to stand up?  Tasted very Eggy.  Yuk!

I think I will follow my own, the next time:
