Steamed Chocolate Cake

This cake recipe I got from divyascookbook. Originally it is a Lakshmi Nair recipe.

How to Prepare:-
Milk – 1 cup
Vinegar – 1 tbsp
First you have to make the sour milk. For that add the vinegar to milk and mix well with a spoon,keep it for 15 minutes.


Egg – 1
Melted butter/ghee – 1 tsp
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp


Cocoa powder – 4 tbsp
Powdered sugar – 1 cup
Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
Baking soda – 1/2 tsp
Salt – a pinch
Maida – 1 cup

Beat powdered sugar, egg, essence and melted butter/ghee.Add cocoa,baking powder,baking soda and salt and beat again. 


Add maida and the sour milk alternately and mix till it become a smooth batter without lumps.


Pour on a baking dish / greased pan and steam the cake for 45 minutes.

Keep the cake in the pan till it is completely cool and then take it out. Decorate according to your choice..

My topping was 3tsp "Complan" powder mixed with 1tsp cocoa powder and 2tsp butter. A way to make my kids eat complan :)
