The instruction how to make Steamed sponge with vanilla mascarpone

1. Grease a 1.25-litre pudding basin with butter. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, carrot, banana, eggs and oil in a bowl. Using electric beaters, beat for 5 minutes until smooth. Stir in the walnuts. Pour into the pudding basin.
2. Cut a 30cm-square of baking paper and a 30cm-square of foil. Place paper on foil and fold to make a pleat in the centre.
3. Place over the basin, foil-side up, then tie securely with kitchen string to cover. Place the basin in a large saucepan and fill with enough boiling water to come two-thirds of the way up the basin.
4. Simmer, covered, over medium heat for about 2 hours, topping up with water if needed. The pudding is done when a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean but is still slightly sticky.
5. Meanwhile, for the vanilla mascarpone, mix together the mascarpone, icing sugar and vanilla seeds in a bowl until smooth. Chill until needed.
6. Remove the basin from the pan and cool for 10 minutes. Carefully turn out on to a serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, slice and serve warm with the mascarpone.
