Steamed Moist Chocolate Cake

We cook and bake for a very simple reason...

Yes..Love..
Why do we spend so much time in the kitchen,
when we can buy ready made food?

We just want the best for our love ones...
Homemade food is always the best food!

It takes lots of effort, time and sometimes courage to come up with something in the kitchen!
Ooooo..Emotional me...
Full stop before I type more =P

my man had a bad day,
I wanted him to cheer up~
by making this cake as a surprise.

Planned to complete the cake before he's back,
but was not in time to decorate.

He was still happy when he saw my "ugly" cake =)

I had problems with my steamer,

It's actually just a wok with a stainless steel stand. 

I should get a proper steamer soon!

the cake was indeed mooooooist~

the taste reminds me of Sara Lee...!
I did not drizzle it with ganache,
as i think this cake is sinful and sweet enough on its own! HAHA..

And in less than 12 hours, more than half the cake is gone!
