This is a recipe which i created, since i had few egg whites leftover from my mayonnaise. So I put that in good use. I created this recipe and when i was steaming i was quite skeptical how the cake will turn out since there is no fat in this recipe. But to my surprise it turned out perfect. The cake was soft and little moist from the caramel topping.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
