Snow Cheesecake




This is another 'preloved' dessert which I have long forgotten about until I started blogging for recipes for my next photography subjects / project. My first experience of this savory sweet cake during one of my ex company's potluck occasion when my ex colleague ordered this cake from her friend. The cake tasted so smooth and savory sweet that I whiffed down several slices at one go, secretly hoping for leftovers to bring back home. Even then I never knew this cake by name.

So when I saw pictures of this cake recently, I started recall how much I miss eating this cake, which, I just got to know it is actually a sponge cake with cream cheese frosting. Anyway, since I have yet to find any non dairy, egg and milk substitute ingredients for making this awesome cake, I shall just enjoy the baking process and derived satisfaction from the photography and baking accomplishments.

Based on feedback from my guinea pigs food tasters, they loved it! So here I am putting  extra effort (writing in chinese and english) into sharing this recipe with you and hope you enjoy the process and every bite of it.

Happy baking and feeding.....
