Ingredients
125g cream cheese
60g heavy cream
60g milk
15g cake flour (sieved twice)
10g corn starch
5 tbsp Suncore Foods® Lilac Taro Yam Powder
35g large egg yolks
70g egg white
1 tsp vanilla
10g sugar + 70g sugar (egg white)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300°F/150C. Line a cake pan with a piece of parchment paper. Fill another large baking pan halfway with water. Place the large pan on the middle rack in the oven.
2. In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, 10g sugar, heavy cream and milk. Place the bowl over a pot of hot water; keep stirring until it becomes smooth.
3. Sift flour and Suncore Foods® Lilac Taro Yam Powder into the mixture from step 2, and gently fold until you don’t see any flour. Put the batter in fridge before use.
4. In a large bowl, beat the egg white with an electric whisk until foamy. Add 1/3 of the sugar. Keep whisking until it starts to thicken and add another 1/3 of the sugar. Whisk and then add the remaining sugar. Continue whisking until big soft peak forms.
5. Add 1/3 of the egg whites to the batter; gently fold to combine using a spatula. Pour the mixed batter back into the 2/3 egg whites and fold to mix well.
6. Transfer the batter to a cake pan and place it into the large pan filled with water. Bake for 60 minutes or more. Carefully remove cake from the pan and cool it on a wire rack.
