Ingredients

Cake ingredients:

• 6 Eggs, 60 gr sweet Condensed milk, 1 tsp Emulsifier, ½ tsp Salt
• 40 gr Corn starch, 180 gr all-purpose Flour, 80 gr grated Cheese
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract, 80-100 gr shredded Cheese-for topping
• 30 gr Butter-melted room temperature, 160 ml Vegetable oil
• 180 gr Sugar, Extra Flour & Margarine-for the pan

Cream ingredients:

• 160 gr Heavy cream, 75 gr Mascarpone, ½ st Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Lemon zest, 15 gr Sugar

Directions

• Cream: Beat the mascarpone, heavy cream, lemon zest, vanilla & sugar until the mixture holds its shape, looks like soft whipped cream. Cover & refrigerate for minimum 1 hour (until ready to use).
• Preparation: Heat up a steamer until the water boiling & lots of steam comes out from under the lid. Brush a round 20-22 cm pan with enough margarine & then sprinkle some flour around. Combine melted butter with vegetable oil; set it aside. Sift & then combine the flour, corn starch & salt in a bowl; set it aside.
• Using a mixer, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, condensed milk & emulsifier over high speed until the batter getting thick & pale (~ 10 minutes).
• Add flour mixture into the batter gradually; stirring it well after each addition with a whisk/spatula. Gently stir in grated cheese. Pour the butter-oil mixture into the batter; fold in using a whisk/spatula.
• Turn the heat to medium-low. Cover steamers lid with a clean cloth. Divide the batter into 2 equal portions. Pour 1 batter portion into the pan. Tap pan on the table a few times to bring up air bubbles. Place the pan into the steamer; cover with the lid & steam it for 30-40 minutes (until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean). Remove pan from the steamer. Place a wire rack on top of the pan & invert, lifting off the pan. Repeat the procedure for the next batter portion.
• To assemble the cake: Put each cake bottom side up; spread ¼ of the cream over the top of first cake with a spatula so it extends just beyond edges; sprinkle with enough shredded cheese. Spread ¼ of the cream over the bottom side of the second cake; place the second cake on top of the first cake; gently pressing to compact. Spread the rest of cream over the top of the second cake & then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
