Creamy Soy Milk Lava Cake
A soft, steamed cake featuring a rich soy milk and cream cheese custard center that oozes out when cut.
Story
This dessert combines the nutty aroma of soy milk with the luxurious texture of a molten lava cake. The filling is a thick, creamy custard made by simmering soy milk with egg yolks and cream cheese, creating a delightful contrast against the fluffy sponge.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Custard Base
In a small saucepan, combine the whole milk and egg yolks. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Sift the cake flour and powdered sugar into the pan to prevent lumps. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are fully moistened and integrated.
Add Soy Milk
Pour the soy milk into the mixture in small batches, whisking continuously after each addition to ensure a silky consistency.
Thicken the Filling
Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly as the mixture warms up. Cook until it thickens enough to show whisk trails and begins to bubble. Immediately remove from heat.
Finish with Cream Cheese
Add the cubed cream cheese to the hot custard. Stir vigorously until the cheese has melted completely, resulting in a thick, glossy lava filling. Set aside to cool slightly before assembling your cake.
