Steamed Moist Chocolate Cake

This is the first cake always comes into my mind everytime I think of steamed cake, chocolate steamed cake in particular - all time favorite!
It's been many times I made this cake and every bite always makes me go hhhmmmm... :)
So luscious, rich and moist, chocolaty, and soft, too
Another excellent point is, it's really easy to make! No mixer required -> my favorite! :)





I posted this cake before, when I made it for my sis' bday, you may view HERE
I realized I didn't write the recipe in that posting - only link up to the original recipe, so here it is....

Recipe is from Cooking Crave

What you need:

180g butter
200g caster sugar
200g evaporated milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
100g plain flour
50g cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp dark rhum
  1. Preheat steamer, wrap the cover with clean cloth and line + grease 8" round pan
  2. Mix caster sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla essence and butter in a saucepan
  3. Stir over low heat til sugar dissolves and butter melts
  4. Remove from heat, let cool
  5. Add in beaten eggs, stir well
  6. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and soda
  7. Pour egg mixture over the flour mixture and stir well (cake batter should be runny)
  8. Pour batter onto the pan, steam for 10 minutes on high heat, reduce the heat to low and steam for another 45 minutes

Chocolate fudge topping:

200g sweet condensed milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp corn / canola oil
20g cocoa powder - sifted
a pinch of salt
  1. Bring to boil sweet condensed milk, oil and cocoa til thicken
  2. Add in salt and vanilla
  3. Pour over cooled cake, keep refrigerated

Note:
* For me, I prefer to eat this cake warm. I will warm the refrigerated cake for 15 second before consuming
* This time I used low fat version for both evaporated milk and sweet condensed milk and it didn't change the texture nor taste of this cake

  1. Hi Alice, I love this steamed chocolate cake too. Very moist and chocolatey. The fudge is one of the best. Yum yum

    P/s Regarding your inquiry about the brown rice, I soak for 1 to 2 hours. Discard the water, add boiling hot water to the rice and steam for one hour. I don't eat plain cos it still taste a bit grainy. So usually I make rice salad or Jambalaya rice.

  13. You can never go wrong with a steamed-moist chocolate cake! Its chocolaty taste never fails to satisfy my taste buds. Last time I made a chocolate cake, I added a cup of coconut oil to my recipe. It’s a healthier version but it still tastes so good.

    1. hi Neva, using oil especially coconut oil definitely will be nice in taste as well as healthier

  14. I would like to try this recipe as cupcakes, may I just ask if this recipe rises after steaming? I mean, should I put batter just 3/4 full on cupcake liners or should I put full?

    And steaming time would be reduced if I'll make cupcakes right? Around how many minutes should I steam?

    Pls help. Thanks in advance! :-)

    1. Hi Yan, sorry for the late reply
      10 minutes initial steaming should remains the same, followed by 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes
      it rises during steaming but not much, dun fill till full, 3/4 will do :)

  16. Hi Alice,
    Thanks for the recipe and I would like to try this out. May I know if there is any substitute for dark rum? Will it still taste nice if I did not add in this?

    1. Hello, yes, u may omit rum, u can replace with vanilla extract :)

      Delete
    2. hi alice...if I substitute dark rhum with vanilla extract, do I need to put also 2tbsp of it in addition to the 1tsp that is required in the original recipe?

      thanks and regards...
