Moist Chocolate Cake


I'm sharing my chocolate cake recipe - using steamer.


Ingredients :

250g flour
250g castor sugar
250g salted butter (room temperature)
5 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup plain water

Method :

In a pan, heat water, cocoa powder and sugar and let it boil for a while until the mixture becomes solvent and thick. Turn off the heat and let it cool.

In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar. Add in eggs one at a time. Add in the sifted flour and baking powder. Finally add in the cooled chocolate mixture.

Steam in a round baking pan and you need to cover the pan with aluminium foil. Tie up the baking pan so that the water from steamer would not get into the pan. I would steam this cake for about 4 hours.
Chocolate Topping

50g Salted Butter
100g Cream/Double Cream
250g Cooking Chocolate

Preferably if could use a double boiler. Boil the cream in a pan. Put in the chocolate (broken into small pieces). Turn off heat and stir chocolate until melt. Spread this ganache onto the cooled cake.
