Chocolate Moist Cake w Chocolate Fudge Topping












Who can resist this???
The chocolate cake is Moist, the topping is just nice, not too sweet. Very nicely presented!!!
Story behind the process:
I started to steam the cake at 8.30pm. According to the recipe, it should be done by 9.15pm.
But the batter was not set yet, still very sticky. I continued to add hot water, and steamed. Until 10pm, it has been 1 1/2 hour, still sticky. I wonder whether it is the problem that i never cover the steamer with lid.
To get it cooked faster, i changed my mind and put it into the oven. After baking for 40mins, the chocolatey smell was coming out from the kitchen, and it was DONE!!!
I was happy enough with the result, at least i didn't make a failed cake after working for the whole night. I prepared the chocolate fudge topping (i halve the recipes, make it less sweet for kids).
After taking the photo for the beautiful cake, it's already 11.20pm. Luckily i don't need to do the washing, just leave to KAKAK for the next morning. Or else, i can only go to bed after mid-night. ;p
This cake is worth trying.

  1. Wow, how can you steamed the cake without cover it with lid?? lol
    When steam cake make sure the water in the steamer are boiling at it's highest heat and cover it with lid, do not open it until the cake is done. Luckily u make an alternative way by put it in the oven. Smart ya..anyway, hope you like it!
