Steamed Nutella-Chocolate Cake
































Ingredients:

1/2 cup nutella cream
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups cake flour (Tipo OO)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 eggs

Method:

Grease a 22cm cake pan.

Mix nutella, cocoa powder, sugar, milk and oil in a non-stick pan and cook over low heat until cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved.

Remove from heat and leave aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, sift to mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda.

In another bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy then fold into the cooled nutella-cocoa mixture and mix well.

Stir-in flour mixture and mix well to form homogeneous batter.

Pour batter into prepared pan.

Steam over high heat for about 1 hour with a cover that wrapped with kitchen towel to avoid water vapor droplets, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for at least 10 minutes and turn out onto a plate and cool completely.

Can I bake them instead of steam? I tried (steamed) this before, it turned out pretty good.Thanks for sharing your recipes.

You are most welcome KateMa,

Oh Yes, you may bake them instead of steam but the outcome will not be that moist and harder too. Overall still a fine cake.

Happy Baking!

Cheers,

can i use butter instead of vegetable oil?

Hi Yan,

You may replace the oil with butter. It will result to a more heavy taste and dense texture.

Please feel free to share if you found something interesting...

Enjoy! :D
