  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy and smooth.

    • Add the sweetened condensed milk, regular milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

    • Stir in melted butter and a pinch of salt. If using, sift in the cornstarch and mix well to ensure no lumps.

  2. Strain and Rest:

    • For a smoother texture, strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl.

    • Let it rest for 10 minutes to reduce bubbles.

  3. Steam the Cake:

    • Pour the batter into a heatproof glass or metal container (lightly greased if preferred).

    • Cover the top with foil to prevent water droplets from falling in.

    • Place the container into a steamer over gently boiling water.

    • Steam for 40–50 minutes on medium heat. Avoid lifting the lid too often.

    • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s done.

  4. Cool and Slice:

    • Let the cake cool completely before slicing.

    • Chill in the fridge for a few hours for a firmer texture, or enjoy warm for a softer custard-like feel.
