(2) Add in yogurt and lemon juice. Sieved in flour and fold till all mix.
(3) Pour the batter on top of banana cake and further steam for another 15 minutes.


Results: 

The banana cake layer is very soft and fluffy. 

However, for the sponge cake layer there were few things that took place. First - i have replaced the original recipe that calls for milk to yogurt. Second, during steaming - after pour in the batter on top of banana cake layer, towards the end, the cloth wrapping the lid cover touches the top part of the cake as it rises thus might have affected it to collapse after rises. Thirdly, i have reduced the sugar to only 1 tsp. These pointers shall use as reference for future improvement.
