Steamed Sponge Cake II 3.20.13

Steamed Sponge Cake

1 7/8 oz cake flour, sifted (should be 1.5 oz next time)
1.23 oz yolks (about 2.25 eggs)
2.7 oz whites (at 2.25 eggs)
1/8 t baking powder
1 5/8 oz caster sugar (should be at least 1.75 oz, or up to 1.98 oz)
2T warm water
1T canola oil
1/4 t vanilla

Beat yolks, water, oil and vanilla until creamy. Carefully fold flour and bak pwder into yolk mixture.  Beat whites until foamy, slowly add sugar, and continue beating until stiff glossy peaks.  Fold into yolk mixture.  Steam cake for about 40 mins.  When cake just starts to fall, remove from the steamer and turn upside down to cool.

The steamed sponge cake didn't taste as good this time.  I think I added too much flour.  The cake sank again, and I'm not sure if using only half the batter helped.
