Ingredients:

250g cream cheese
20g soft butter
100g sugar
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1 tbsp lemon juice
40g fresh cream or milk
20g plain flour
20g corn flour
1/8 tsp cream of tartar

6. Whisk egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar at mixture, then add the remaining and fold well.
7. Pour into baking tin and place on hot bath (baking tray filled with hot water) and steam bake for about 1 hour on the lowest rack.
