Line an 8 inch sq. cake tin with greaseproof paper, set aside.
Sift the superfine flour with the baking powder, set aside.
Beat eggs, egg white and sugar on low speed, then on high till creamy and thick.
Meanwhile, heat up a steamer with water and bring to a rapid boil.
Using a hand whisk fold in the flour mixture into the egg mixture in 3 batches and blend well. Pour batter into the prepared cake tin. Tap tin lightly to remove air pockets.
Immediately place cake on steamer rack, covered. Steam for 30 to 35 mins. on high heat.
Remove the steamer lid quickly and carefully so that condensed steam will not drip onto the cake.
Test with skewer inserted in the centre of the cake till it comes out clean. Remove from steamer.
Sprinkle in some prewashed wolfberries as desired. Carefully lift up the cake and remove the greaseproof paper.
Let cake cool for about 10 mins. Cut cake with a serrated knife before serving.
