Aunty Yochana's Steam Moist Chocolate Cake
did i mention that i'm not really a cake person? yes i may have attempted on the chiffon cake for a few times but i still prefer eating cookies and brownies over cake. but the moment i saw Aunty Yochana's Steam moist chocolate fudge cake recipe, i know i definitely gotta make this. one of the main reason is... its not a baked cake and hence no oven! =P
its pretty foolproof recipe i would say. just place the carnation milk, butter, sugar and vanilla essence into a pot and heat it till everything melts. i used cold butter and it took me slightly longer to combine everything.
so after cooling down the butter mixture, just gotta add into the already prepared flour mixture. definitely you can see the chocolate powder used right? this recipe requires a heavy amount of chocolate powder so...make sure you have that at home! so after combining everything, its time for a good steam...
when the cake was done, i was so shocked to see how black it actually was! it was not just brown or dark brown but rather...black! the chocolate aroma was pretty strong too and the cake itself was quite tender.
my poor attempt on cake designing. yea i know you definitely can't tell what it is but i am trying to make a tree with almond nibs. oh well. anyway somehow the fudge doesnt really stay well on the cake, it just keep on dripping so i guess maybe i cooked it a tad too watery. nonetheless it was really good and i think maybe this fudge should go with vanilla ice cream....hmm.....
the moment i'm done with the cake, i immediately cut out a slice and the moment it was in my mouth.... my god. i hate to say this but and please pardon the language...but IT WAS JUST SOOOOOOOOOO FU*KING GOOD!!!!!!!!!
good gracious!!! the cake is not just moist, its pretty light and the chocolate taste just flood over my brains!!! the previous fudge cake i made uses real chocolates but it didn't even hit such a spot!!! THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST CAKE I HAVE EVER MADE. it is so good... that i just have to do this... =X
luckily my mom wasn't around. but anyway even mom and all other friends who tried also said the cake was really good. no one could tell it was steamed and i will definitely make this for my niece birthday =D
