Famous Taiwanese Dirty Cake 爆浆奶盖蛋糕

I just discovered this cake not long ago and the lava cream has actually kept me drooling for days. Click here to check out the page & this page as well. Then noticed Sue Gan @ As The Deer tried the recipe some months back. That is very inspiring ! And I knew I need to start up one too. However, I made my sponge by using the previous Chinese sponge cake recipe, instead of the common sponge recipe. Please read on for more.

(3) next, fold in flour mixture in 3 batches till everything is well cooperated.

(4) once its done, stir in black treacle sauce and corn oil till well mixed. Then transfer batter to a 6" tray lined with parchment paper on bottom.

(5) finally, bake at preheated oven 175'C for about 10 minutes then 160'C for another 30 minutes to till tester came out clean.

(6) leave cool by placing the tray up side down for 20 minutes before invert from tray.

(2) now, stir in 1/3 of the hot milk till well mixed.
(3) next, transfer egg mixture into hot milk and cook over low heat till mixture became thick.
(4) once its done, off the heat and transfer custard to a bowl then leave cool before keep chilled for an hour.
(5) for ingredient (B), dissolve sugar into cream cheese in a stainless steel bowl over hot water, till everything is soft and well cooperated.

(7) finally, mix together cream cheese mixture and custard mixture till everything well blended.

*This cream cheese recipe enough to feed 2 units of 6" cake
* one cup toasted almond slices

I prepared the cream cheese mixture one day before, and it makes a lot more easier for me. And I prefer my cream to be less runny, so gave the heavy cream a slight whipped before mixing in.
