Have you ever tried steaming a cake? It's really good!The texture is light and fluffy. This is a chocolate cake recipe I got from a forum I was in a few years back,cari.com.my. Please try it. You won't regret it!

STEAMED CHOCOLATE CAKE

1 cup       Cocoa powder
1 cup       Castor sugar/granulated sugar
1 cup       Evaporated milk
1/2 cup    Sweetened condensed milk
1 cup       Oil(any kind) or 250gm butter/margarine
1 1/4 cup Plain flour
1 tsp        Baking powder
1 tsp        Bicarbonate of soda
3              Eggs

Mix cocoa powder,sugar,evaporated and condensed milk and oil in a medium pot. Cook on a low fire til all are melted and combined well. Leave aside for a while.
Sift flour,baking powder and soda. Beat eggs til frothy and pour into choc mixture. Mix well and fold in flour a bit at a time. Mix well again and pour into a sieve over a 20cm greased and lined cake tin. Cover with aluminium foil. Steam over medium fire for about 1 hour.
*Put into steamer when the water is boiling and you can check/wipe the cover only after 30 minutes of steaming.
