Steam Chocolate Pudding Cake

Last weekend i suddenly have the mood to do some kitchen work.

I make chocolate peanut pancake, the person who ate said its delicious and the taste just like the pancake sold at outside but i didnt took the picture because i saw the texture not so attractive as pancake at market so i thought its not delicious.... After ate only know its good... hehe..

I also do durian pudding with real durian as the filling, just imagine the lemon color durian pudding wrap the fresh durian flesh.. yummy....

However my steam puto bun was failed, haha.. maybe i put so much char siew (BBQ pork) inside so it become over wet and the batter cant rise very well..

Finally, the most satisfy dish is Steam Chocolate Pudding Cake...
The pudding is just nice to bite, thick chocolate favor, wont too soft and its not creamy just like jelly...
The chocolate cake as the base is very nice, standard chocolate smell, not greasy because i don't use butter, and its steam!! its healthier!!
The cream color slices is tiger biscuit, after put in the pudding, it become soft but when you eat, the milk favor of the original biscuit is still remain, so nice..
Deng deng deng deng....

My very first time steam chocolate cake, and chocolate pudding... (i feel so touch when its came just nice and success, cause i used to steam cake before but not so satisfied)

Steam Chocolate Pudding Cake recipe: (6 inch mold)
Base (steam chocolate cake):
1 egg
2 tbsp caster sugar
a bit salt
1/2 cup all purpose flour (better use cake flour)
1 tbsp chocolate powder (you may use 10g chocolate bar, melt them with double boiled)
1/2 tsp baking powder

1. Line the bottom of pan with parchment paper. I use loose base mold so can skip this.
2. Add egg, sugar and salt in a bowl, doubled boil until its warm or sugar melt. (don't let the egg cooked)
3. With a hand mixer beat the ingredients in step2 till the mixture turn into light color and fluffy (around 5 minute)
4. Mix flour and baking powder. Then mix well with the egg and sugar mixture with a spoon or spatula.
5. Add in chocolate powder, mix well.
6. Pour the batter into the pan, smooth the top. Steam for 10 min.
7. When you put a chopstick inside the cake then its come out clean means the cake is cooked.

Chocolate pudding:
10g agar-agar powder
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder + 1/2 cup water. Strain.
500 ml chocolate milk

1. Mix agar-agar powder with water and heat it to boil.
2. When boiling, add in sugar till dissolve.
3. Remove from heat, add chocolate milk.
4. Pour half of the pudding on the cake.
5. Chill the cake meanwhile keep warm the other half part of pudding.
6. When the pudding on cake is set, use a knife lightly cut the surface of the pudding.
7. Arrange any biscuit u like, you may insert an edge of some biscuits slightly into the pudding so that after you pour the upper layer of pudding the biscuits won't float.
8. Pour the remain pudding.
9. Chill for at least 1 hour before serve....
10. Enjoy :)
