Boil water in the steamer, keeping it below the moulds. Divide the batter between silicone puto moulds, leaving room to rise. Put them in the basket, cover and steam for 25 minutes. Check the water level carefully to avoid burns.

Scatter the reserved 0.375 cup of cheddar over the cakes. Cover and steam for another 5 minutes. The cheese should melt and a knife inserted into the cake should come out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes, then gently unmould.
