Soft Steamed Chocolate Cake
How to Make Steamed Chocolate Cake
About this Recipe
Cakes can be steamed as well as baked, yielding a lighter, more tender cake that is moister and has fewer crumbs than a baked cake. The following ingredients are used to make Japanese steamed cakes: flour (all-purpose flour or cake flour), baking powder, eggs, milk, sugar, and neutral-flavored oil (such as vegetable oil). While yeast is used as a leavener in Chinese steamed buns called Mantou, baking powder is used in Japanese steamed cakes.
What is the difference between baked and steamed cake?
Steamed cakes will have a more pure flavour of the cakes ingredients. Because of the browned edges, baked cakes have a more rounded flavour. The cake will be soft and moist, but it will also dry out faster. The benefit of steaming is that it is quick.

Cocoa Powder :Cocoa powder is primarily used as a flavouring agent in baked goods such as cookies, ice cream, dairy drinks, and cakes. Aside from flavouring, it is also used in the production of coatings for confectioners or frozen desserts. Cocoa powder is also used in the beverage industry, for example, to make chocolate milk. Sugar :Sugars make many foods more palatable by improving flavour and mouthfeel. They also extend the shelf life of foods, add viscosity, and act as a bulking agent.
