Instructions
1. Prepare the base
In a bowl, melt the cream cheese, butter, and milk together using a double boiler or microwave. Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Add dry ingredients
Sift in the flour and cornstarch, then mix well until you get a smooth batter. Add egg yolks one by one, followed by vanilla and lemon juice.
3. Make the meringue
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
4. Combine gently
Fold the egg whites into the batter in 3 batches. Mix gently to keep the air inside—this is the secret to the fluffy texture.
5. Prepare for baking
Pour the batter into a lined cake pan. Tap lightly to remove air bubbles.
6. Bake (water bath method)
Place the cake pan in a larger tray filled with hot water. Bake at 150°C for 60–70 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly.
7. Cool slowly
Turn off the oven and let the cake cool inside with the door slightly open. This prevents cracking.
8. Serve
Dust with powdered sugar and slice gently. The inside should be soft, airy, and slightly creamy.
