You don’t need an oven to bake a cake. In this recipe, cake is made by steaming the batter on high heat and creating a fluffy and sweet dessert that is all the more delicious served with coffee or tea. To make steamed cake all you need are a few simple ingredients, most of which are pantry stapes, including flour, brown sugar, baking soda, egg, honey, vanilla extract, and water. Popular in Chinese, Japanese and other Asian cooking, steamed cake is delicious as a filling snack or a surprising dessert.
To make steamed cake, you need molds, typically made of bamboo, designed for steaming. These are small round dishes with grills at the bottom for the steam to penetrate. The molds are placed in a steamer where the water is placed for producing the steam that will cook the cake. If you don’t have special molds for steaming you can also use a cake pan or cake tin and a large saucepan where the cake tin fits. Place an inch of water in the bottom of the saucepan and place a grill or rack or something to keep the cake tin from touching the water.
An empty tuna can, for example can be used to separate the water and the cake tin. Put the cake tin with the batter in it and cover the batter so that the steam won’t wet the cake. You can use foil or banana leaves to cover the lid of the cake tin. Cover the large pan to allow the steam to circulate. Simmer the water over medium heat and make sure that the water in the pan does not boil dry the entire time that you are “baking” the cake. You can also use a crock pot to steam the cake by using a low rack or ring of crumpled foil in the bottom of the slow cooker.
