This Taiwanese Traditional Sponge Cake has been on my to-bake list for a long time. I had experimented and baked it in three flavors - original, cheese and pork floss flavor. My family's favorite is the pork floss flavor as we find it the most delicious as compared to the other two. 

I've wanted to do a blog recipe post on this earlier but my beloved grandmother passed away on 8 October 2017 and I was in deep deep grief being very close to her. Those who have followed me on Baking Taitai's Facebook Page and Instagram would have known about it. I've baked two of her favorite cakes in memory of her as what better way to remember our loved ones through their favorite food.

My first experiment on this traditional sponge cake was the original flavor. I like the soft, moist, light and fluffy texture. 

For my second experiment, I did both cheese and pork floss flavors. It's a 2-in-1 cake, half cheese and half pork floss. The pork floss is a winner and won all our hearts being the tastiest! For the cheese flavor, you have to eat the cake while hot when the layers of cheddar cheese is melting soft. Otherwise, after the cake has cooled down and cheese hardened, it won't taste as nice. 

Here's sharing my tried and tested recipe with you, do give it a try and let me know which flavor you like best!
