I've been looking at Chinese sponge paper cupcake recipes, and most of them have cake emulsifiers in them, does anyone know a really good substitue? Should I use the whipped egg white method in replace of it, and will it come out much different than using the cake emulsifier?

I recently put a recipe in an answer which might be something like what you're doing -- look on this page for Steamed Egg Cake, taken from The Joyce Chen Cookbook:
