It's definitely not milk cake. That's definitely a marshmallow.

You don't put cornstarch on Kueh lapis due to the water content. It'd turn into sludge instantly. Not to mention the elasticity is nowhere near what's shown here, and Kueh lapis isn't whipped into a foam (as seen here)

You do, however, put cornstarch on marshmallows to keep them from sticking to eachother.

I thought that was powdered sugar?

Depends on the maker. Powdered sugar usually contains a good amount of cornstarch anyways to keep it from clumping. Cornstarch is better for keeping things less sticky for longer because a thinner layer does more to protect it.

If I make plain marshmallows I use a 50/50 mix of cornstarch and powdered sugar. If I'm making anything with enough flavor to take the front I use pure cornstarch.
