I hardly make steamed cake due to lack of confident getting nice cake with steaming method. Until I read this steamed moist chocolate cake from Victoria Bakes. I knew that is not my 1st time reading this recipe as this steamed chocolate cake has been popular among fellow bloggers. Not sure why I have the urge to try this time and I’m glad I did. This indeed a very moist steamed chocolate cake :)
