Steamed cheese chocolate-mocha cake

This is the first time I tried this recipe . As I ran out of chocolate emulco, so I thought of using leftover cooking chocolate melted and mixed with homemade mocha paste.
However , after laying the final layer, I steamed more than 10 mins, thinking that the overall cake might not be really cooked. End product came out still nice . It as not that really spongy soft but still the taste is fine, not so sweet. Great for those who dislike sweetness. 



Ingredients:

4 eggs - separate egg yolks and egg white
100gm. sugar
250 gm. cream cheese
150 gm. whipping cream
100 gm. Superfine flour
30 gm. cornflour
1 tsp. vanilla essence
3 Tbsp. Melted chocolate with mocha paste

Method:

(1) Beat cream cheese, salt and 1/2 of the sugar in a mixing bowl till creamy then add in eggs one by one , followed by whipping cream.
(2) Fold in flour and corn flour and mix evenly. Add in vanilla essence.
Whisk egg white with the balance half of the sugar until fluffy. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.
(3) Take out 1/4 of the mixture and add in chocolate - mocha paste . Stir till evenly mixed. Put batter into a piping bag.
(4) Divide Plain mixture into 3 parts. Pour 1 part of the plain batter into a square tray 7" x 7" (lined with paper) and pipe some chocolate mixture on top. Steam for 10 mins. Repeat process till finished.
(5) Cool cake on a cooling rack.
