Making this cake is a bit more work than the steamed banana cake as this one requires some cooking. Got to cook the milk with the sugar and etc. Then got to cook another round for the chocolate toppings. I burnt the toppings a bit because I walked out of the kitchen for a while 🙁 Nevertheless, the cake turned out ok.
Mixed everything up and here is how it looks like before steaming
Ahhh…..yummy and very moist chocolate cake
My mom said it’s good and hubby thinks so too. Ashley also couldn’t wait to eat it because she could smell the cocoa and thinks that her mommy was making Koko Crunch =). After eating a piece, I asked her if she wanted another slice and she said, “No, Thank You”. O_O
Here is the recipe I found on the internet:-
Ingredients:-
Cake Layer
375 g butter or corn oil (use corn oil for softer cake)
2 cups of castor sugar
1 can of Evaporated Milk
4 Eggs lightly beaten with a fork
2 cups of Plain flour
1 cup of Cocoa powder
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Vanilla Extract or 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla essence
Chocolate Topping
1 can of Condensed milk
1 tsp of Vanilla extract or 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla essence
1/2 cup Corn oil
1/3 cup Cocoa powder,sifted 1/8 tsp Salt
Method:-
1) Combine castor sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla extract or essence and butter in a saucepan.
2)Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted,off fire and keep warm. If using corn oil, mix everything and stir till well mixed.
3) Add the beaten eggs into the slightly cold evaporated milk mixture and stir till well mix.
4) Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda into a large mixing bowl then pour the eggs mixture over the flour and stir till well mix (cake batter should be runny).
5) Heat up the steamer. Lined and greased a 9 inch baking pan or 2 9’inch sandwich pan. Pour the batter into prepared pan and place the pans into the steamer and cover the top of the pan losely with a piece of aluminuim foil.
6) Steam over medium heat for 1 1/2 hour (45 mins for 1/2 recipe/ingredients).
7) Cool the cake in pan before turning out for further decoration.
8) Combine the sifted cocoa powder, condence milk and oil. Stir over low heat till thicken (stirring all the time).
9) Add in salt and vanilla extract or essence.
10) Cold the chocolate topping a little before spreading on the cold cake.
