Steam Moist Chocolate Cake

This recipe was taken from Kitchen Capers, created by lady vanilla.

The original portion is for a very large cake. What I have posted here is already halved (which will yield a full square aluminium tray).

If you bake this in a muffin cake, reduce the steaming time by halve. As always, do check for doneness before removing from heat.

Taste wise, it is very moist and soft... very much like the famous Lana Cake. Due to the moisture in the cake, this cake does not keep very well in our humid weather. If you must keep it (with cake so heavenly, how can you resist finishing it up??? *Sigh*), store the cake in an airtight container and refrigerate.
