Method

1.\tCombine sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla essence and butter in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved and butter has melted. Remove from heat.
2.\tAdd the beaten eggs into the slightly cooled mixture and stir till well mixed.
3.\tSift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs mixture over the flour and stir till smooth. (Batter should be runny).
4.\tHeat up the steamer. Line and grease a 7\" baking pan. Pour the batter into prepared pan and place into the steamer. Cover the top of the pan loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
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.
6.\tCool the cake in pan before turning out for frosting.

:slapshead: I forgot to cover the pan with alu foil. Will this affect the appearance? :lol:
