Moist Steamed Chocolate Cake

I can't believe I have not done any post on this cake. Really, can't believe. This is one of the superb easy bakes. Easy and Yummy!

About a year ago, I met one of my cousin in a supermarket while buying some baking stuff. Then she told be about a simple chocolate cake that was yummy and oh-so-easy to bake. She said she will e-mail the recipe to me. Unfortunately, I reckon due to her busy schedule, the recipe never reached me.

So, not wanting to wait too long and with the beauty of the www., I googled "steamed chocolate cake" and a few came out. I tried one, and it was terrible. Took a long break and tried another. Nope, tasted fake. As I brace myself for yet another failure, I decided to give this a try. And yes, I finally found THE one. It's really really simple - with no need of the mixer and it's really really good - on it's own, or with the ganache. There's several version of the ganache, so simply try and pick which ones you like best. Most will go with melted chocolate + butter. I love this as it's a steamed version and the tecture is light and spongy. The texture enables it to absorbs the ganache really well.

I've made this a few times - for home, for gatherings, for the office, for orders (thanks Steph!) and the latest one was for a colleagues birthday. All with success I believe :) Once, I baked it for a farewell party at home and a girl (yes, 21 is still considered "girl") literally licked the container clean. Yes, it's THAT good.

Noel loves this cake, but I've not baked it for home for a long time now, since I'm hooked with buns at the moment. I guess, I'll have to wait for a "Mummy, can you bake me chocolate cake?" request to come before baking this for home.
