All about Cakes & Cookies Baking

[Funz]

LKVM, I have not tried baking with this recipe so dunno if it will be the same. But if you want to try, I suggest going with 160 deg and bake it longer then the 45mins and cover the tin with foil once the cake is set so that the top will not get too crusty or burnt.


Micollh, no idea what is SMH and I don't have a blog so I guess I am not the person that you are referring to.

I cannot remember where I got this recipe from. I have a few steamed choc cake recipe but decided to try this as the recipe combi looks like one that will yield a rich and moist cake. The original recipe actually coupled the cake with a chocolate glaze that uses condense milk. Since I don't like condense milk I dug out a fudge recipe for the cake instead.

5.\tSteam over medium heat for 45 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s done. If not, steam for a further 5 minutes.

2.\tAdd butter, turn off fire and stir till the butter melts.
3.\tSpread the warm fudge over the cake to coat evenly.
4.\tChill the cake in the fridge before serving.

I ended up with a fair bit of left over fudge. Think this recipe yields enough fudge for up to 2 7\" cakes if you basically slap on the fudge like I did. But if you are into piping and decorating, then maybe not enough for 2.

I steamed the cake for 1 hr to make sure that it is fully cooked. Afterall no worries of the cake turning dry or getting burnt since it is steamed.

When serving, it is better to let it rest at room temp for about 10-15 mins before eating else it is a bit dense instead of soft and moist.

Have fun.

My staff say I can give Lana a run for their money oredi. Haha. Think they just want free cakes.

Tks Funz, btw, what do u mean by 'when serving ... moist'? Must wait for cake to cool then spread choco fudge right?

[Funz]

Well you need the cake to cool sufficiently to remove from the baking tin. But the fudge is best applied when it(fudge) is still warm. Doesn’t matter whether the cake is cool or warm. Thereafter, you need to chill it.


When you wanna eat it, let it rest at rm temp for awhile, else the cake is a bit dense/hard, like the sara lee pound cake straight out of the freezer.

Great! Let me know how it turns out. I think this recipe is a keeper.


My staff was just begging me for the recipe. She has to cook a variety of dishes for me in order to get the recipe from me. :evil: The rest of the staff are happy as they get to share in the scrumptious meal that she has agreed to prepare for us in exchange for the recipe.

If only she know to log into KSP :laugh: Not gonna tell her though.
