Steamed moist chocolate cake


I'm so back!


Finally, my first cake after such a long hiatus. Hb's been asking for it (the chocolate cake) day and night. Now that i'm better and could bake without feeling nausea thinking about it, i baked hb one last Sunday.

Too bad, the picture i got here was pretty bad. It's the only picture i managed to capture before the camera went 'beep' and dead after that.

This steamed chocolate cake that i made was different from the one i baked the other time with the strawberry deco. This cake stays really moist even though it has been refrigerated, unlike the other one that would turn hard (mostly the chocolate ganache) and needed to be microwaved for best result (well, that's because the chocolate i used was val rhona dark chocolate). This one uses condensed milk mixes with cocoa powder for the fudge which explains why it stays soft. As for the cake itself, i prefer the steaming method though.. Much more moist and definitely melt in your mouth :P

Nevertheless, both were really good. Next time round, i'm gonna combine the best of both world which is, the cake will be steamed and the topping would be chocolate ganache instead of original.

I can't wait! And i'm sure hb can't wait either :D
