Moist Chocolate Cake

I have been thinking what can I do without using an oven to bake a cake. I'm trying to cut down on my baking as we all know, PUB had increase the rates from 1st July... Mummy Eileen tempted me to try out her Oreo Butter Cake that she swears it's good....but I told her no no baking using oven till weekends...:-p

So I was looking at Peng's Kitchen, and I saw her steamed chocolate cake...With my little ingredients left, I managed to make half of the portion as stated in her ingredients.

The cake came out nice and moist. Nic and hubby had one piece each and they liked it. And of course, Mimi tried and she loves it too, cos chocolate is her favorite!!!

Here we are, my Moist Chocolate Cake:)

4. Heat up the steamer. Lined and grease your tin. Pour the batter into the tin and place into the steamer. Cover the top of the tin loosely with a piece of aluminium foil. (I did not cover as I do not have aluminum foil:-P)
