The kids are having their school holidays this week and Nephew D and T came to my place today so I made this steamed chocolate cake for them. I've always wanted to try this recipe with milk but just didn't have the courage to do so as I'm afraid of failures. I do not usually stock up on evaporated milk but after seeing The Little Teochew's modified recipe, I decided to use milk too.
End result is not much different from using evaporated milk ;-)

For the frosting, instead of melting chocolate in my previous attempt, I added 2 tablespoon of Nutella spread to the whipped cream. Taste yummy too!Ingredients
185g corn/sunflower oil
180g castor sugar (you may use up to 230g)
200ml fresh/UHT milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
110g cake flour (you may use plain flour)
45g good quality unsweetened cocoa powder (you may use up to 60g cocoa powder)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Method
- Heat up the steamer.
- Lined and greased a 8 or 9 inch baking pan.
- Combine castor sugar, milk, oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Stir till well mix.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the eggs mixture over the flour and stir till well mix (cake batter should be runny).
- Pour the batter into prepared pan, cover the top of the pan losely with a piece of aluminuim foil.
- Steam over medium heat for 40 - 45 mins.
- Cool the cake in pan before turning out for further decoration.
