Steamed Moist Chocolate Cake
This blog is in response to Remya’s comment on Moist Chocolate Cake. I have no idea of how to bake the Moist Chocolate Cake in an oven which only has grill and reheat function. But I thought of the Chinese way of making cake which is by steaming.
So, I experimented with half of Moist Chocolate Cake recipe with steaming instead of baking. I used half of the recipe because that’s how much my steamer can accommodate. I steamed the cake for 30 minutes over high heat.
The cake turned up absolutely perfect, very moist and chocolaty. I would recommend using the steaming method in the hot summer.
Remya, I hope you will try out the steaming version of the Moist Chocolate Cake.

I tried the previous recipe and it turned out to be great. Have you ever tried this with carob instead of chocolate?
If you want to know of a great place to buy carob, you can try Holy Food Imports (www.holyfoodimports.com). Their products are produced in the holy lands of Israel and sold in the US so they are high quality.

Dear Susanne,
I’m new to the cooking world but I like steamed food a lot. Thus, I’m going to invest in a good wok and a set of bamboo steamers but not sure what size they should be. How can we choose the bamboo steamer so that it can fit into a wok or a deep pot? I’m going to buy those things online so if you could suggest some sizes (diameters) for example, that would be great. Thanks a lot!

Hi Shadowy_world, I know they come in 14″, 12″ and smaller size. To me, it has to be at least 12″ for practicality. I have a 14″ bamboo steamer because I have a 14″ wok.

Thanks a lot, Suanne. So we choose the bamboo steamer and the wok that have the same size, supposing I’m going to buy them separately? I want to make sure about this because I’ve read somewhere that the bamboo steamer is supposed to be smaller than the wok. Btw, I’m really sorry for misspelling your name last time. My bad!

Hi shadowy_world, I find that bamboo steamer which is the same size as the wok or pot is more practical, especially if you are going to get a large bamboo steamer. I don’t think you can find any wok with a cover which can totally encase a 12″ or 14″ bamboo steamer. Anyway, bamboo steamer comes with it’s own cover.
