Tried this recipe which has garnered good raves on the internet. Almost everyone who tried it have nothing but praises for this recipe.

This is recipe is easy to complete, just mix and steam, you don't even need to use the mixer or oven. This is something which you can do at home even in times of blackout haha!

The cake is indeed very moist, light and fluffy, even on the second day. Recipe is definitely a keeper!

Ingredients

(I halved the original recipe as follows and got a 7" cake)

(A)
180g butter / canola oil

1 cup sugar (I used 2/3 cup)
1/2 can evaporated milk (I used low fat kind)
1/2 tsp vanilla extrace

(B)
2 eggs, slightly beaten

(C)
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

Method

1. Combine A in saucepan. Stir over low heat till sugar is dissolved and butter has melted (if using oil just mix together). Off fire and keep warm.
2. Add B into the slightly cold A.
3. Combine C and sift into a large mixing bowl. Pour the mixture in 2 over and stir till well mixed. Cake batter should be runny.
4. Heat up steamer. Lined and greased a 7" round tin.
5. Pour batter into the greased tin and steam the mixture over medium heat for 40-45min till cake is cooked.
6. Cool and serve.
